Hello. Thanks for writing to HCM.
I read and understand your question very well.
I try my best to help you.

As your daughter have two large lump behind ear, there are many causes for this like lipoma , abscess , haematoma , fluid collection or secondary to any pathology. This can also secondary to ear infection.
I suggest to you to consult a good ENT(ear , nose , throat) surgeon for this.
This lump can be subside by antibiotic course or may be need to remove by surgery.

I hope my advice will help you a lot.
Thanks and Regards.
