I have a lump behind my left ear and it is painful. What can I do about it?

Hello Ma'am,

It is virtually impossible for me to comment on the exact cause of this lump. In this area, several nodes are present and some may come swollen in the case of an infection.

In fact, only doctors can provide a diagnosis and I think we need a clear diagnosis before attempting any treatment option here.

As the pandemic is causing great challenges in the doctor's office, perhaps you could try services such as Hello Health or Maple if your doctor cannot see you within a week.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help to you at this time.

Happy day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
