Hi guys,

Just thought I would post here to see if anyone could give me some advice as I don't want to pester the doctor unnecessarily, especially during this pandemic. I have discovered a hard pea sized lump where my preauricular lymph node is, in front of my ear. It has been there about 6 months now but more recently is has become more prominent that a friend noticed it. I was ill was glandular fever about 12 months ago otherwise I am a fit and healthy 43 year old. I have not felt ill and the lump is not painful, just hard and doesnt move. More recently I have started her night sweats waking up with the bed sodden, and have just developed ear ache in the ear where the lump developed. Is it likely to be a cause of the glandular fever from last year? As I say, I obviously don't want to waste anyone's time when things are testing enough. Thanks
