Hi, I am not going to be as helpful as th doctors but I'll tell you I have had a swollen neck for a year and a half now it makes me sick, dizzy I can't work it is driving me crazy and no one can tell me what is wrong I know your pain I just want it to go away.
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
A swollen lymph node behind the ear that persisted for so many years could be due to dandruff in hair, eczema, dermatitis, infection in ear. If the stimulation persists so does the lymph node. Many a times, it persists without reason too.
Consult a skin specialist to rule out the above on the scalp acting as a stimulation for the growth of the lymph nodes.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
