Lump on head behind ear

Has anyone’s little one got a lump on their head behind their ears. I’ve found one behind my daughters this weekend. She’s had a temp which I’m thinking is teething related. A tooth is coming up and drooling everywhere. I’m hoping it’s a lymph node because of that but I’m just worried.

My LB had one when he was about 2mths. It was a lymph node where he was fighting a bug but had no external symptoms. Can you wiggle it around if you poke it? Does it cause LO pain/discomfort if you poke it? If it wiggles with no pain, then likely lymph node, if it is painful or stays still then it may be a deep spot.

Eyes? Or ears?

My LO has had one on her neck since she was a newborn (8 months and still has it) Sometimes more prominent than other times She had an ultrasound and results came back fine that is a normal lymph node just find it odd that it doesn't go away If your LO had had a temp it could be due to that, if it doesn't go in two weeks see a doctor for reassurance

@Reena haha definitely ears lol

@Hattie she doesn’t seem to have discomfort from it. I haven’t try to wiggle it to be honest

@Mona ahh bless her, yea I’m going to keep an eye on it as I have a huge fear of lumps for obvious reasons. I didn’t know if it was a normal thing as this is my first little one x

So weird you’ve said this as I only went to the drs last week for mine. They weren’t worried and said it was a lymph node xx
