We have a saying around here that fits your situation "When in doubt, check it out". If it is causing you concern then you need to have it looked at. One thing I do know is lymph nodes can swell up and also can dissipate very quickly. Ive seen this in my son with one located along his jawline. Out of the blue it enlarged and then it decreased just as quickly. He is not a cancer patient, so it was a big worry but it was fine, nothing wrong. Best wishes with everything!!!
