Brief Answer:
Get it checked out
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If regular Tylenol does not bring in relief it is better to get this examined by doctor. I suggest to stop using Tylenol as it can give in rebound headache.
You seem to be describing about cyst? Lymph nodes are not found here on the temple.
It is better examined by doctor than leaving it alone.
