Could The Lumps Behind Ear Be Due To Cold?

Hi, I am a 36 year old 5 ft tall woman. I have a 9 month old son and weigh about 175 lbs. I have recurring hoarseness, seem to be losing more hair than usual, am tired,often cold and earlier this week found two lumps behind both ears. Should I see my Dr and what could be causing this?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He may have enlarged post auricular lymphnode. It van be due reactive hyperplasia as result of infection in upper respiratory tract or head and neck region. He should take a course of antibiotics. If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable. Antibiotics like azithromycin or amoxiclav is useful. It is prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
