Patient's question:
My daughter is 5 months old. I noticed that she always likes to rub her ears continuously when she sleeps. At first, I thought she was mischievous, so I helped her scratch her ears. Suddenly, I discovered a red dot behind her ear. When I pressed it, I found that the red dot felt like a small, movable bump under the skin, about the size of a grain of rice. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
Active anti-inflammatory treatment is sufficient. There is no problem. According to your situation, the local lymph node enlargement is caused by local inflammation. It is recommended to take some oral antibiotics for treatment and wait and see. You can also go to the hospital for blood tests and other examinations, and then deal with the situation accordingly. If it continues to swell, it needs attention and you should go to a formal hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner.
