Lump in neck - #10242
I am a 20-year-old female. I have noticed a small lump, about the size of a pea, in my lateral cervical lymph nodes, located fairly far behind my ear. It is somewhat soft and painless. I have also been having a cold recently, with chills and a sore throat. When I press the lump, I feel a sensation of ear blockage in the nearby ear. I have read that painless lumps can sometimes be concerning, and I would like to know whether, based on this description, it appears to be benign or if it requires further evaluation.
