Question

What are the reasons a person might develop a swollen lymph node in front of ear on face with a fever?

Answer 1

its one of your bodies ways of fighting off infection- the lymph nodes swell and release a fluid called lymph which travels through your body and filters the impurities which cause the infection. and the location of the swelling just depends on what you have- so like swollen lymph nodes in front of your ear would be like a throat infection or something

Answer 2

Usually viral conjunctivitis (pink eye).  

Answer 3

Strep throat

Answer 4

  Sounds a question  for medical personal. Would it be more appropriate to ask this question at a doctor who can  tell you precisely what this problem is. To a lay person  the description does not sound healthy at all.  

Answer 5

Anything.

Your lymph nodes are part of your immune system-they respond to any sort of infection or virus.
