Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Large Bump Behind The Ears After An Injury?
My 14-year-old daughter sustained a head while playing soccer one month ago. No loss of consciousness occurred no bruising initially. She complained of left-sided jaw pain and a small bump at the time of injury. Today she has a large bump behind her left ear painful & hard and she says it throbs at times.
Dear patient your daughter has got hematoma in mastoiditis area. I would like to confirm diagnosis by local ultrasound of the swelling. Please get it done from radiology centre nearby you. If she is getting throbbing pain secondary infection is likely. Please start tab zerodol sp twice a day for pain and swelling relief. Visit to Ent specialist is recommended.
