Q: Painful lump in front of ear
asked by: timhunnybuns on May 26th, 2009

I have this painful lump in front of my left ear by my jawline. It's been there since April. When this lump first appeared, I got a fever of 103 for about 3 days. Ever since then this lump has stayed and at times it'll flare up when im going to eat. It'll start throbbing and it will noticeably swell up to the point where the pain is radiating into my ear and into my jaw. Any ideas on what it could be? I was told it was just a viral infection but it's been almost 2 months.

Based upon the history that you've provided, an infection is probably the most likely cause for this painful, enlarged lymph node. However, if these symptoms do not resolve within a month or two of their onset, then you should be re-evaluated by your physician.
