Appt time: The baby can have bacterial conjunctivitis, to nasolacrimal obstruction, viral infection--he/she really needs to be seen. As far as lymph nodes the one near the ear is located inferior to the ear not behind it.

Hello, I've noticed a lump on the back of my head (ear level) and I suspect a swollen lymph node (it is movable). I also have aphthous on my gums. Could this be the cause? (unrelated-I've recently started a CHC) Thanks?
