Ever since I can remember, I''ve had an inflamed gland in the left side of my neck... right under my ear. It gets larger when I''m sick, along with the right side.... but recently its been larger and I haven''t been sick. The right side isnt poking out at all but the left side seems huge. Do you think it could be anything serious? I think I''ll go to the doctor to check it out, but I feel weird because I had a couple of other random symptoms I was going to discuss with him but I''d feel really dumb if they were all sompletely unrelated and not serious.
