Hard Lymph node near ear

Hi there 

I had a flu In early January that persisted for a few weeks and since this I haven’t felt right. Recently my ear has been playing up and it feels quite heavy when I lie down, this seems to go into my neck and my head feels blocked and dizzy and it hasn’t been right since. Also I’m getting a sore head often which i never had before. Recently while yawning I noticed a hard bump in front of my ear on my upper cheek and this has worries me a lot. However I don’t know if this is connected to the ear issue and it is worrying me a lot. I am booked in to see an ear specialist but when I googled this (which I know I shouldn’t) it was coming up lymphoma. I was wondering if there was any advice on what it could be?

Thank you:) 

  • Hi C-2001_mh,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It's good to hear you've booked an appointment to get this checked out. Unfortunately no-one here is really able to advise on what this might be - the best thing is to wait for a specialist to take a look.

    As you mention, it's best not to Google this as the information will often be irrelevant or outdated.

    Wishing you all the best,
