Hi, Thanks for query to My HCM virtual Clinic And welcome to HCM services.

I studied all details of your query.

I understood your health concerns about lump on back of head on right side.
Cause of lump in head-
Based on facts of your query,it seems that-
you could have either Lympadnenitis on right bottom side of the bone
or ,it could be mastoiditis,as it is a hard lump and sore to touch.

-Amongst these 2 possibilities,3 weeks history with hardness of the sore lump on the bone,leads Me to think of the Chronic Mastoiditis,as you had bad heavy cold with headache/feverish over last 3 months.
CT Scan of the Skull would resolve the ambiguity in the diagnosis of your hard lump.
Hope this reply would help you in resolving this complex query and anxiety with it. This would help you to plan treatment with your Ent Surgeon,whose Second Opinion is advised before the final treatment.

I would appreciate if you hit thanks and write excellent review comments to help needy visiting patients at HCM.

Welcome for any further query in this regards.
Good Day!!
