Hello doctor. I have a swollen lymph node behind my ear for a week and it does not go away and the right lymph node is the size of my thumb. But I'm breathing very often and have shortness of breath like difficulty in breathing, while I have only had a lung examination 2 months ago. So the doctor asked me if there is a risk of lung cancer? Ask your doctor for advice. Thank you.

Answer
Hello! Do you have painful lymph nodes in your parotid region? How long ago did the nodule emerge? What is the size of the nodule? Do you have lymphadenopathy elsewhere?
The phenomenon of swollen lymph nodes behind the ear is an abnormal sign. However, to be sure, you should see an oncologist to confirm. Your doctor will diagnose and prescribe the right treatment for you. You can go to the Vinmec Health System hospitals nationwide to be examined and consulted by qualified doctors.
