You should go see a doctor; it could be a tumor.

While I seriously doubt it is a tumor, it does indeed sound like it could be a swollen lymph node. Have you been ill lately? Even a little cold?

yes , J_9 i had a cold/flu simtoms about a week ago before the lump showed up, i have been also having real bad headaches too,and i never get head aches. thanks for the help

This sounds like nothing more than swollen lymph nodes. However, since you are having headaches, you should get it checked out. It could by symptomatic of the flu, but to be sure you should see a doctor. You can go to a local health clinic if you don't have a doctor.
