Patient's question:
Last month, a hard lump grew behind my ear. It doesn't hurt or itch, and it hasn't improved or grown since then. As soon as I noticed it, I went to see a doctor. They did a blood test, and the doctor said it was fine to take some anti-inflammatory medication at home. But now it's still not getting better.Doctor's answer:
If it's inflammation, anti-inflammatory treatment will quickly improve it. If it doesn't improve, it might be lymph node tuberculosis. Due to the lack of detailed information in your description, I cannot make an accurate judgment. Lymph node enlargement can be caused by viral or bacterial invasion into the body. Its enlargement is a manifestation of the body's defense function, and lymph node enlargement may be an external sign of a certain disease. Maintain a positive mindset, stable emotions, and adopt a healthy dietary habit. Consume more fruits, vegetables, and other nutritious foods to enhance your immune system.
