Hello... I am not sure if I am e.mailing the correct person. I am assuming this is going to a doctor of some sort (perhaps an ENT). I have what was described to me as a "swollen lymph node" on the back of my neck, behind my right ear. It is VERY sensitive to touch. The size is about like the circumference of a nickel, but shaped like an egg.
I am VERY allergic to animals.. and quite often have sinus infections due to this. While taking antibiotics, it doesn't seem to go away. I am currently under a LOT of stress at work. Could this be the problem.
Any suggestions/information would be appreciated. Thank you...

I have previously discussed the issue of swollen lymph nodes in several previous posts. Please refer to http://ofcn.org/cyber.serv/hwp/hwc/ent/news/ent195.html as well as ...../ent199.html for more information.
