A member asked:

What to do about ear infection: dr said i had blisters on ear drum?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Myringitis: Blisters on the ear drum is a form of ear infection. Most respond to the same medication that we use for middle ear infections. Some may benefit from adding a topical pain medication in dropper form.

Smaller than pea sized hard, immovable lump about an inch behind ear. No pain. Could it just be a lymph node from infection? Or should I be worried that its hard & immovable? Do I need to see a dr ASAP or can I wait?
