Patient's question:
It seems like there are no symptoms, but I've always had a bad stomach. I usually skip breakfast and go to sleep around 12 or 1 a.m., waking up at 10 a.m. in the morning. I drink 5 cups of 500 ML hot water every day. Today, I noticed a small lump occasionally when touching the back of my ear. It's near the edge of the prominent bone behind the ear, under the hair roots close to the ear. The lump might be as big as a small green bean. My hands are cold, but by the afternoon, my face feels quite warm. My temperature is around 36.5 degrees. Is this small lump swollen lymph nodes behind the ear? I'm asking for help from the doctor.Doctor's answer:
This situation is often multifaceted, so it is important to identify exactly what is going on, as clinically common causes include: simple lymph node enlargement, such as inflammation, tuberculosis, etc., which can all cause it. Additionally, conditions like cysts also exist.Recommendation: Therefore, it is advised to seek medical treatment at the surgical department of a hospital.
