Suggest Treatment For Discomfort Lump Behind My Head

Hi.. yesterday I noticed some discomfort behind my head... I noticed a lump which was sensitive to touch. The area is not red or hot to touch. The pain is radiating all the way to my ear. I have been under extreme stress at work. Have no other symptoms. No loss of vision or hearing. Any ideas on what it could be? Thank you for your time. Clarissa Mares

Hi Clarissa ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

It might not be possible to reach at a provisional diagnosis without a clinical examination of the lesion. I would advise you to take appointment with your family physician and get your self assessed by him. Till that, for the discomfort you have, you can go for some anti inflammatory drug available over the counter after meals.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
