Question
A 1.5-month-old baby has developed a lump behind the ear. What could be the reason?
Answer
Hello. It’s possible that the lump is due to lymph node enlargement. Everyone has lymph nodes behind their ears, and due to the development of the lymphatic system in children, they are more prone to lymph node enlargement. If the baby has a cold or gum inflammation, it could trigger lymph node enlargement.
