MY 5 month old daughter has a hard knot behind her left ear and her scalp is red. I had to take her to the er for a allergic reaction to either oatmeal or amoxicillin . She has had a few ear infections . I don t want to have to take her to the doctor again we have been there 3 times this week but this knot is really bothering me. Thank you,
