What Causes Pain In The Head Behind The Ear In A 4 Year Old?
Hello, my almost 4 year old daughter has complained about her head hurting behind her right ear. It doesn t hurt bad and not constantly. She only mentioned it 2 times. Doesn t cry or anything. I felt where she pointed and there is a hard lump about the size of a kidney bean. It doesn t seem to really move but then again I didn t try too much. Do you have any idea what it could be? She isn t sick but was about 2 weeks ago. I m not sure if it s a lymph node or something more serious?

Hi,
It seems that she might be having enlarged post auricular lymph node.
It indicates that there might be having some infection in her external or internal ear or some wax problem.
There might be having some infection in surrounding area like scalp, neck as well.
If require consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
