A member asked:
Mastoid bone looks swollen and its tender. hurts when i turn my head too? dr says no sign of infection. what else can it be please? 14 yr old female. no prior trauma to the area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If this girl has history of otitis media then mastoiditis can't be ruled out. At least she has been evaluated by a doctor. However, if symptoms persist or get worse in the next 72 hours, she needs to be reevaluated. Good luck.
