Hello!
My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!
The swollen lymph node could be related to an inner ear infection or any other local infection in this area. I don't think that it is related to migraine. Anyway, inflammation or a local infection may trigger a migraine attack.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam, a complete blood count and PCR for inflammation.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards!
