Mastoid process swelling painful totouch
I feel like a swelling overy left mastoid process. It is hard and tender and painful to touch. Its been so since this morning. Everything seems fine. No headaches, no nausea, head movements are fine. No problem with deglutition and there is no discharge from the ear. Everything's is okay. Could you tell me what could it be?
could be a small lymph node inflammation in that region possibly related to a sub-clinical scalp inflammation like dandruff! Only way to confirm it is to get a proper ENT examination
