Question

My daughter is five months old, and she constantly rubs her ears while sleeping. I initially thought she was mischievous, but when I helped her scratch her ears, I suddenly noticed a red spot behind her ear. When pressed, the red spot becomes raised, revealing a movable grain-sized bump inside the skin. What could this be?

Answer

Active anti-inflammatory treatment is sufficient. Based on your description, this may be due to regional inflammation causing regional lymph node enlargement. It is recommended to take some antibiotics orally and observe the situation. You can also go to the hospital for routine blood tests and then handle the situation accordingly. If the bump continues to swell, it is important to timely visit a regular hospital for examination and treatment.
