What Can Cause Lumps Behind Ears?
my 15 month old son had a high fever last week after three days he got better..today i noticed a dime sized lump behind his left ear and a pea size lump behind his right ear. The lump is hard and skin colored it does not seem to cause my son any pain. When the he had the fever he was tired, had loss of appetite and cold hands and feet....could the lump be related to his fever?

dear parent your concern is appreciated.
these are lymph nodes which reacted to his throat infection to safeguard him.
you need not worry unless they are red swollen painful and growing
this is body's natural safety feature
