A member asked:

Lump behind ear, numbness in neck. is it from an ear infection? i don't get ear infections.

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Neil Giddings answered

See physician: Lump behind ear with numbness in neck is unlikely from ear infection without a history of previous ear infection. Should have this examined in near future.

Dr Villaplana and another doctor agreed
