Should I Be Concerned About The Pus Filled Bump Behind The Ear?

My 6 year old daughter has what looks like a pus filled bump behind her ear. It has been there bout a month but has never been this big. At first we thought her earring back had just cut her ear but the bump is still there. Should I take her to the doctor?

Hello

Yes, please do take her to the doctor ,as the pus needs to be removed and your daughter needs to be started on antibiotics for the infection. Please dont delay and take her as soon as possible.

Thanks
