My 19month old dd has had a lump behid her ear for a couple of weeks and been digging at her ear, she had a cold around the same time but that has gone and she was still digging at her ear but not so frequent. went to GP (saw a locum) who said swollen glands and slightly red ear so gave me antibiotics. previously seen a dr when she had red ears and high fever and still only given calpol
so decided not to give abs, but tonight noticed that she also has swollen glands in groin area. reason for this in this thread is because she used to suffer with moderate to severe excema, now she has it mildly. when bad she has lumps everywhere but GP said thats becasue she is atopic. would you go back to GP and see a regular one to check out this lump in groin and recheck ear?
she is well in herself, is 'digging' ear only when tired now!
are these lumps ever sinister is what i guess i am asking, and can i jus assume its her body fighting an infection. i know they can take some time to go down after??
