How Can A Hard Lump Above The Left Ear Be Treated?
I just noticed a hard - inch and a half-two inch hard lump above my left ear, it is mildly painful. No trauma. I ve been sick recently, and on antibiotics for an infected lymph node, but that is much lower. Are there glands up that high that could become agitated?

Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
Your symptoms suggest it could be lymph node enlargement. It could be reactive ,nonspecific or rarely malignant. I advice you to get FNAC done for confirmation.
Thank you,
Take care
