Swollen Lymph Node Under Right Ear That Is Harder Than Normal
Wow....awesome! thanks for your help! I have had a change in the lymph node under my right ear over the last few months. It has gotten a bit bigger and a little harder than normal. It's not hurting but just a little annoying. The left side is normal. This is the ear I talk on the cell phone with. I'm not sick at all. Just concerned that It may be caused by the cell phone use?

Hello and welcome to health care magic,
Any node swelling which increases in size and and becomes hard must be investigated so you must get an FNAC done and get back to me or any ENT with the report.
In most of the cases it may be just a benign problem though but it pays to be safe
The use of cell phone has no direct bearing on the node though it does effect your ears and hearing so you can reduce the same
