Swollen postauricular nymph node
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi! I noticed about 2-3 weeks ago that i had a small lump behind my ear and i first assumed it was just acne. Now i noticed its still there and about the same size! I am pretty sure it is a swollen nymph node (postauricular) after doing internet research because its located exactly where the lymph node is. It is a bit hard, painless, kinda fixed (tried moving it), pinkish color and about the size if a bean. From what i have seen this seems to suggest cancer and i am worried. I am 25 yo, male, light smoker (about 5 a day) for 8 years. I had an ear infection but that was on my other ear and like 3 months ag. About 1-2 weeks ago i had very light ear pain (where the lymph node is) and about 1 week ago that ear...sorry cant explain well...seemed to vibrate and it sounded like there was an helucopter inside, i literally felt my ear vibrating! I sadly can only see a doctor in about 2 weeks. I dont think i have any other symptons. I like to be realistic and it seems like cancer and i know i cant get a diagnosis here but i want some opinions please. Thanks alot everyone!
