What Causes Pea Sized Bumps In Each Ear Of A Baby?
My 17 month old has a temp of 97.4 He feels hot though..He has had a pea six bump behind each ear since he was a few months old. Another one has just appeared on the upper part of his neck. I asked a nurse at the clinic and she said maybe its from the detergent I use. I asked his Dr and hesaid lymph nodes and no worries. I worry because now he has another and the other two have been there over a year. Now he has a low temp but feels hot???he just turned 17 months, has had reflux, we took him off the previcid at 15 months old, 24 lbs.

Hi...your doctor is right. The small bumps there are usually lymph nodes and they usually appear even with innocuous viral illnesses also. If the kid is other wise active and playful you need not worry it.
The kid being on medication for reflux is not related to this.
