Question
After birth, a small lump was found behind the child’s ear, which is hard in texture. No abnormalities were detected during examination. However, as the child grows older, the lump becomes larger. How should it be treated?
Answer
A lump behind the ear may be a sign of lymph node swelling, which typically does not require treatment but should be closely monitored for any changes. If it grows larger or is accompanied by other symptoms, medical consultation and diagnosis should be sought promptly.
