I discovered a lump on the back of my 1year old sons head it's right near his ear his not in any pain what could it be?

Lymph node?: It is probably a lymph node in the posterior auricular chain (that runs behind the ear). Would ask your pediatrician if persistent. Too frequent checking can cause it to stay enlarged, so only check every 2-3 days.
