Hello,
This sounds like a swollen lymph node.The earlier was a post auricular lymph node and now it is the cervical lymph node.I would advise an ultrasound and FNAC/biopsy to find out the cause of enlargement as to whether it is infection,autoimmune disease,chronic disease or any malignancy.Pls coax your mother to take you to the doctor soon as the post auricular lymph node has been chronically enlarged for some time.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Lymph nodes are like the porous paper filters in a "Mister Coffee" machine. The collect and trap infectious material and bad buggy-wuggies before they go on vacation in exotic and interesting parts of the body. The chances are you have a little infection, probably bacterial, and need some antibiotics.
You need to go to a doctor. Don't pass go. Don't collect two hundred dollars.
i saw my doctor a couple days after my post. she thought it was a cyst on my thyroid and had me go to the hosp. and get xrays. and she took blood work and everything. she called me later that same day and said that everything was fine. Then earlier this week she called my mom back and is haveing me go back in tomrrow to see a different doctor that isnt a pediatrician... she never said exactly why which kinda worries me i guess... i thought everything was fine. so as of now im still undiagnosed. ill let you know if i find out anything else or different tomorrow.
