How Can The Tender And Painful Lump Around Ear Be Treated?
A few days ago I noticed small, pea-sized lump under the top part of my ear (the root of the helix I believe). It's tender and painful to touch. It has not gotten any larger but it hasn't gotten smaller either. It's painful sometimes without me even touching it.

Hi
It could be an enlarged lymph node which got inflammed and infected.
I prescribe Antibiotic like Cefuroxime and anti inflammatory tablets to my patients with similar complaints.
Nothing to worry.
It will come down.
Wish you good health.
Regards
