Hi I am 17 years old, 5ft1 & 7stone.  I discovered a lump in the left side of my neck about 3 months ago, its a little painful and has changed in size. I have been to my doctors and they have said its most probably a lymph node from a virus I didnt know I had. But Ive had a blood test and it came back normal? About a week ago my ear on the same side of the lump has completely gone and I cannot hear. Also now have pain in the left side of my jaw and the left side of my neck/face/jaw feels numb. Quite worried as I am only 17 and want to get rid of the annoying shooting pains!
Hi, It seems that there might be having some infection in left ear producing enlarged lymph in neck. Now it seems that active infection took place in ear producing enlarged painful tender lymph node giving this problem. Consult ENT surgeon and get examined. You might require one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course. Ok and take care.
