What did you do for it to leave? How long did it take?
It ended up being a swollen gland! We are still not sure as to why it was swollen but I guess that doesn't really matter since it has completely cleared up now! Thanks for the help everyone.
Let us know what you find out please.
Well if anything, it seems to be worse today so I am going to find a walk-in clinic near by since I am away for school and I can't get home to see my family doctor until Monday.
I have not been sick recently and am not sick now which is why I am fairly worried. The pain has not let up at all and is beginning to give me a headache (even scarier part).
So thanks for the replys!
you need to go to the doc. thats all i can say
Hello yes it could be a swollen lymph node, or possibly a boil. It could also be caused be an ear infection, taxoplasmosis, recurrent scalp infections, yaws,hyperthyroidism, syphilis and secondary syphilis, lymphoma or tumor of lymph node, tonsil and sinus infection, tuberculosis, Hodgkin's disease, dermatitis, cat scratch fever or cat allergies, leukemia, or cancer.
If you have been ill recently that could be the cause, but you really need to see the doctor if it doesn't go away within a couple of days to make sure it isn't something serious, since it just came up for no apparent reason.
I Hope This Helps!
