What can be the cause of a swolen lymph node under left ear in toddler?

Babies with repeated ear infections, or even colds can have this develop... It's normal, because the lymph system spreads thoughout the body, just like the arteries & veins... the lymph nodes actually grow and get larger when they have to filter out poisons (from infections) that attempt to spread. If you feel in the same area on your body you'll most likely feel small hard knots... this is because after the infections are gone, the lymph glands (nodes) shrink to small "scarred" knots...\

∙ 15y agoThere are a lot of answers to that question. It depends on a lot of factors: How long has it been there? Is it tender or non-tender? Does the child have other symptoms? Has anything made it better or worse? Is it red and puffy or just enlarged, and how large is it? Lymph nodes can be enlarged for a number of reasons, but if you see your doctor and give him/her the answers to the above questions, then after a thorough exam you may get the answer, or there may be some testing required, depending on what is found. Generally, if the child has a cold and/or sore throat and there are many other glands swollen, and it is viral and starts to go away in a few days, it is probably a normal reaction to viral infection. If it stays, comes back, or you have any concerns about it, see the physician.
