What Could Lump Behind Right Ear Indicate?

My 3 year old son today showered and I was dressing him and found a lump behind his right ear, in the past he would say he gets dizzy and legs would hurt. Then his pre-k teacher stated he sweats while he naps and I witnessed that one day. Could this be cancer

Pediatrician,  's  Response
The growth is unlikely to be cancer and you need not jump to conclusions. To be able to comment on what exactly it is, it needs to be examined properly. Please visit a doctor and get your child evaluated. Sweating during naps may be normal if it is humid to some extent.
