How To Heal Swollen Lymph Node Behind The Ear?
Hi, I m a 17 year old girl and I have had a swollen lymph node behind my right year for the past 2 years. I had and ultra sound done on it but the doctor had said that the swelling should go down within a couple of days. Well it s been 3 months since then and it still hasn t gone down, and I m still concerned about it. Is there any way that it could be something else?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a reactive lymph node.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.
If the symptoms continue, I suggest to do a visit at the ENT specialist for further evaluation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
