Hi everybody
I have this lump/gland/lymph node(?) behind my right ear that is swollen in the morning for the past one month almost. In two hours after getting out of bed the swelling has gone and it is like an empty bag in there just behind the skin... I do not have any infections as far as I know except maybe a very mild long term virus-thing, but could it be a lymph node? It is ~0.5cm (0.2 inches for the SI-system impaired :winks:) in diameter, and it is just behind my ear where the ear grows out of the head. There's a small depression in my skull on both sides, but only on the right side do I have this swollen thing in the depression.
Can this be just a lymph node? I certainly hope so... do lymph nodes do this cycling?
All the best, Jens
