What Could The Bumps Behind Ear Post Throat Infection, Azee500 Medication Be?

Hi , I had a throat infection and i took Azee500 for three days , while my throat was ok i suddly woke up with two small bumps on my skull just behind my left ear. Its too painful and as if i have a nail stuck in it. I put some neosporin but it hasn t helped much . I spoke to a friend of mine who is a doctor and he said it might be a Hairl folicle infection. Can you please tell me why this happened and is it serious?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You already have sore throat due to upper respiratory tract infection. So you have high chance of reactive hyperplasia of lymphnode. You mostly they are enlarged lymphnodes due to throat infection or other infection. You should complete the course of azithromycin. If lumps remain persistent then biopsy diagnosis is advisable.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
