What does a lump behind the ear indicate?
Patient: Hi, my three year old daughter had a pea sized softish lump behind her ear a while ago and I have recently noticed a similar lump on the back of her neck this weekend. She also has little nose bleeds from time to time too...I have a apt at docs in two weeks but am concerned...should I seek earlier apt?! Many thanks Doctor: This can be lymph node enlargement associated with ear and nose infection. Does the child have recurrent rhinitis? It may lead to epistaxis.If epistaxis is significant then you should visit a pediatrician earlier.
