Lymph node beneath the ear swollen for 6months

[Worriedmantoo]

Hello All,
Some six months back I had pain in my jaw and in next two weeks I developed a single swollen lymphnode beneath my ear. It troubles and causes pain sometimes. After 3 months I went to ENT specialist, he diagnosed swollen node and orders USG. USG came back normal, CBC was normal as well. Now I am having a dull pain in my jaw and gums near the swollen node. Please suggest what should I do. Is this a big concern. The lymph node has not grown is size.
Please suggest ne what action should I take.

Have you had a dental exam? Some of the symptoms could be caused by gum disease or tooth decay. https://www.healthline.com/health/gingivostomatitis

No I havent dont that..
I will go for the dental check up.
However do you think this could be lymphoma..?

Also to add I do no have fever and no fatigue. However I do experience bleeding gums time and again.

I am not a doctor and cannot guess at a diagnosis, but signs to not point to lymphoma.  You would likely have multiple swollen nodes that are painless: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lymphoma/symptoms-causes/syc-20352638
The symptoms you are describing sound more like an infection, although you had a normal CBC.  You could have an impacted tooth.  I would start by ruling out any dental problems, given the pain in your jawline and gums.
