What Is The Treatment For A Pea Sized Lump On The Ear?

My five year old son has a pea size lump above his right ear. It has been there for a little over a week. There is no puss or head on bump. Doctor said it was possibly a swollen lymph node. From diagrams I saw online, there are no lymph nodes in this location. The lump does move and is tender. He did hit his head on bed frame when he was camping out on floor about the time this lump appeared.
