Should I Be Concerned About A Lump Above My Ear And Headaches?
I m having lots of tingling and numbness on my right side leg and foot and has now spread to the right side of my face (temple area). I m also having headaches, mostly on right side and can feel a lump above my ear along hairline. Should I be concerned?
The symptoms are consistent with common causes like migraine or tension headache, as first-line management, you can try analgesics like aceclofenac or tramadol for pain relief. The lump may not be related to it and can be a swollen lymph node. If there is diagnostic confusion, a fine needle biopsy can be considered.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
