See a Dr: Although it is possible the lump in your son's ear could be an infection which could be treated quickly with antibiotic ointment, this can not be said for certain without a proper exam. Please take your son to a clinic as soon as possible. The sooner he is diagnosed properly the better his chances for recovery. A referral to an ENT doctor may be necessary. I wish your son the best with his health!
