Hi all,

I've had a swollen node behind me ear for about 5 months. ENT specialist thought it was due a tooth infection. He checked my ears and throat and said i have nothing to worry about. To be honest im not too sure what flared it up - it did go down from the size of a grape to what i can feel is the size of my little finger nail.

Today i saw my doc and asked her just to check to see what she thought of it. She said it doesnt feel sinister but she has referred me for an ultrasound - now i am worried.

Has anyone else had an ultrasound on their lymph nodes?

Thanks
