Should I be concerned...

...that I woke up with a scratchy throat and didn't think much of it - until I discovered a marble-hard lump the size of a nickle behind my ear?

It's kinda of freaking me out, and I don't have a doctor.

    That's a gland behind your ear. Every time I get a cold or a sore throat the same thing happens to me. Increase your vit c intake. I always put vicks on the gland to. The vicks usually helps with any soreness I may have in that area.

    No, you should be concerned if you found the lump and still didn't think much of it. Are you going to find a doctor?

    I figured it was a lymph node.  Just very strange that it's the only one that swells.  I'll try the Vicks thing, though...
