Are there lymph nodes behind your ear? |
In the past few years I realized I was forming new allergies to things like pollen, pet dander, certain perfumes that do nothing but make the lymph nodes in my neck swell, and the pressure from that at its worst gives me a headache or makes my throat feel like it's swelling shut. This can get particularly acute in spring and fall. I've been battling a case all week, and this morning noticed that my eardrum was pulsating a bit from a rogue muscle spasm. While massaging the little area behind my earlobe & under my ear trying to get it to stop, I found a little knot that is tender like my nodes tend to get when they're swollen from allergies. I know nodes are all over the place, but I've had problems with this ear all my life (and massage that spot since it seems to temporarily sooth it) and never felt a knot there before. Are there lymph nodes back there, or is this something else? Yeah they can feel like little pea sized lumps behind the ear, and are usually a sign of some sort of infection. Mine come up when I am run down or am getting a cold. If they persist you should get them checked out though Yes, there are lymph nodes behind your ears. |
