I am having quite a bit of pain and some swelling on the right side of my face, just in front of the tragus. My ear does not hurt at all, but the lymph nodes behind my ear are swollen and sore as well. This morning, the lymph nodes on my neck decided to join in with swelling and pain too. I have not had any trauma since this all began, except for a bug bite above my right eyebrow, which has been swollen and sore. Any ideas what is causing all this? It has been persisting for about 5 days now, and just getting worse. In the last few hours another bump has formed on my scalp, just above my right temple.
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that your neck pain and enlarge lymph node can be due to infection in the body. It can be a dental infection, or it can be a throat infection. I would recommend you following.1. Meet a ENT specialist and get examine your lymph node. 2. He will advise you to take antibiotics for some time may be five to seven days.3.if there is reduction in sweller than its pk otherwise you need to get a FNAC.  I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
