Swollen posterior auricular (lymph node behind your ear)

10 Replies

Hello,

Very specific question, has anyone had their lymph nodes behind the ear swell as either part of the disease or treatment (I’m on Avastin).

One of mine has been swollen off and on for a couple of weeks, initially thought I’d bumped it or slept oddly but now it’s definitely swollen.

I’ll add it to the list for my oncologist but just thought I’d ask.

Happy Monday!

That’s a very specific question, indeed! I hope your oncologist is able to help you with some answers, Lisa. Good luck with it, Vicki x

I know! 😂 It may also be from the arm of my glasses... x

This sounds like something you should talk to your CNS about immediately.

That is usually a sign of infection and needs to be checked out ASAP. Are you running a temperature?

Take care,

Laura

Thanks Laura, i’m Not running a temperature but will talk to someone about it. I don’t seem to have a CSN as she moved areas so will call my doc.

Hi Lias, did you find a solution for this? Mine is the same and also have gotten glasses a few months ago yet I’m unsure to when this bump behind my left ear, on the actual bone, showed up! Feel like I’ve had it for months now!

in reply to123kayleigh123

Yes, it was in fact caused by glasses and eventually burst! 🤢

Hopefully yours sorts itself out too. 😬🙂🤞

Omg what? No way 😳 was yours hard? And how long did you have it for?! Thank you! X

It was about 3 weeks, I had not connected a new pair of glasses to the issue until it kind of grew a head! yuck I know, i think the glasses had just rubbed and caused a swollen blister. It sorted itself out in a couple of days after it burst. x
