Without physical exam it would be hard to tell what it is. However, the most likely cause of such lump would be an enlarged lymph node. Lymph nodes can be normally enlarged during the course of infection. In this cause it would be an infection somewhere in the head or neck region. It is best to keep an eye on the size of the lymph node as there are other conditions that can cause an enlarged lymph node, including but not limited to lymphoma (cancer of lymph nodes). A biopsy could confirm the diagnosis, but remember that the most common reason is a benign infection.

∙ 10y agoThis sounds like a swollen lymph node. You may have an infection somewhere in your head or neck. The node is making a large number of lymphocytes to fight off whatever you have been infected by. See a doctor if it doesn't get smaller soon.
