Suggest Lump Prevention Methods

My daughter has a lump the size of a quarter behind her ear, it is somewhat soft, does not move from behind it, I have first noticed it tonight as she mentioned it hurting a little, and gave her a little headache earlier today. I felt around and it was a little tender for her.In checking it out, she also has a pea sized firmer lump about an inch below this and in her neck, it moves a little. She is six.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some ear infection or throat infection giving rise enlarged post auricular lymph nodes.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Treatment of existing infection will solve her problem.
Ok and take care.
