Question
Why do the lymph nodes in front of my ear often swell? They get as big as peanuts at their largest. This time, it was a month ago when a large bump appeared in the right outer ear canal. It hasn’t healed yet, and it’s accompanied by swelling of the lymph nodes in front of the ear. Is it due to “up” (a Chinese term for internal heat)?
Answer
Based on the described situation, it is considered that the regional swelling of the lymph nodes in front of the ear may be due to a bacterial infection. It is recommended to ensure adequate rest and nutrition, avoid spicy foods, drink plenty of water, and consume fresh fruits and vegetables. You can take Qingkailing capsules and Lijunsha for treatment. It is best to go to the hospital for a blood analysis test to determine the cause and receive treatment.
