What is the reason for a child having a lump in their ear?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Your condition is a painless lump, which may be caused by swollen lymph nodes. It is often secondary to an upper respiratory infection. 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 be sufficient. Don't worry.
