Suggest Treatment For Hard Lump Behind Ear
My 10 year old daughter has a hard knot in the lymph node behind her right hear. It hurts to the touch. I took her to the doctor yesterday and there was no infection seen in the ear. What can be done to break up the fluid and make the knot away?

Hi,
This depends on whether the node is infected or not. If infected, antibiotics and sometimes drainage is needed. If not infected, this need not be worried about unless it is progressively enlarging.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
