A few days ago I noticed small, pea-sized lump under the top part of my ear (the root of the helix I believe). Its tender and painful to touch. It has not gotten any larger but it hasnt gotten smaller either. Its painful sometimes without me even touching it.
HIIT could be an enlarged lymph node which got inflamed and infected. I prescribe Antibiotic like Cefuroxime and anti-inflammatory tablets to my patients with similar complaints. Nothing to worry. It will come down. Wish you good health. Regards
