I found 2 bumps behind the ear near the hair line on both side of my 7 week old grandaughter. I am very concerned she appears very healthy growing and doing great. I hated to say anything to my daughter as I hated for her to get so upset before her next Dr. appt. on the 17th. They are about the size of a bb and do move with the skin, and appears that it does not hurt. Please hope you can give me some good news. She is our main life right now and I pray it is nothing. On the right side about 1/2 inch below the one at the hair line is another tiny one on the neck. I feel it is lump knobs but why would this happen?
Welcome to Chat Doctor I am Chat Doctor and I will help you with your problem have gone through your question. It appears to be posterior cervical lymphadenopathy, mostly commonly caused by upper respiratory tract infection. Viral is more common than bacterial. Bacterial which is usually staphylococcus and streptococcus, needs antibiotics. While in viral infection the lymphadenopathy is mostly self limiting, requiring no treatment apart from spy paracetamol for symptomatic relief. I hope my answer will help you. Do rate it, if you like it. Regards
