Lump Near Temple, Had Wheezing, Redness And Raised Upwards. Express Concern?
Hi there, I was sitting outside on my balcony yesterday afternoon and felt something an inch below my right temple exactly in line with the top of my ear. I felt a pea size lump that felt a bit tender but it didn't appear to be red.
I went to lay down for a nap about an hour later and I noticed that occasionally when I was breathing out, I was weazing but it wasn't consistent. It is now 5:25 am and I have been tossing and turning in bed the last few hours and that occasional weazing keeps occurring but it's not consistent with every breath. the "bump" now shows some redness and feels deep under the skin but also seems to have raised upwards. I have not been able to sleep because I feel like I am a bit light headed. Should I be concerned?

Hi..
Thanks for the query..
The lump you are seeing may be an enlarged lymph node which is commonly present in any infections..
You might be having an upper respiratory tract infection..
You can consult general physician who can advise for antibiotics and anti allergics like ceterizine..
Take warm water for drinking and do salt water gargling for relief..
Hope this information is helpful.. Take care...

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
I feel that you should not be concerned with the problems that you have stated. Probably your concern is preventing you for relaxing and sleeping.
If there was wheezing then you would have felt a rapid respiratory rate in which case a clinical assessment would have been required.
The pea sized lump can be an enlarged lymph node which can be got assessed by your doctor. If the pain persists then it shall be better to get it assessed sooner than later.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing you all the best.
