What should I do if a child has a lump in their ear?

Patient's question:

The child has only been born for a few days, and recently, for some reason, they keep scratching their ears. What should I do if there's a lump in the child's ear?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition is a painless lump, which may be caused by swollen lymph nodes. It is often secondary to upper respiratory tract infections. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a blood test to check for abnormalities. If there are no abnormalities, taking anti-inflammatory medication for treatment should suffice. Don't worry. Improving motor function and enhancing self-care abilities can be achieved by increasing joint mobility, adjusting muscle tone, and improving motor control, coordination, strength, and endurance. Additionally, medication can be used. Commonly used medications include neurotrophic drugs for the brain and muscle relaxants. Medication should only be used when necessary.
