What Causes Painful Lump In Ear?
my 5 year old daughter has a lump behind her ear. Looks like mastoiditis,but no fever, ear pain now. about halfway through antibiotics for it, a little smaller, but still very present. Her ear is sticking out. I m worried the doc is missing something. Should I be? Could it be mastoiditis or something else?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He may have mastoiditis. If he has lump then it can be reactive lymphnode or sebaceous cyst. Just complete the course of antibiotics. If lump still persistent then go for biopsy accordingly.
