Suggest Remedies For Large Lumps On Head,swollen Nodes And Headache

I noticed a fairly large lump on both sides of my head behind my ear,about 2 finger widths away.. they both hurt and feel like bone and don't move. Today I also have swollen nodes on the left side of my neck and bad headache that will not go away. I have terrible insomnia and am extremely lethargic as well.

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about your head issue.

As per your history you seems to have mastoditis, it is the infection of Bony tissue behind Tha ear and as the cervical lymph nodes drain the same area you feel swelling also in neck region.

You need to take a course of antibiotics only after consul our doctor. If I would have been your treatment doctor I would have advised levofloxin once daily for a week or ten days.

If your neck swelling is hard mass like and not too painful you need to visit a head and neck surgeon as soon as possible because it can be dangerous too.

Hope my answer will help you and visit us back if you have any further queries to be answered.

Regards
Dr Muzaffer Hussain Parray.
