It is most likely an enlarged lymph node. Lymph nodes are body's first line of defense and the one below your child's ear may have increased in size due to the existent rash, or cold/cough/fever. Once the reason is resolved, it's size will reduce on its own.

Next Steps

In case the lymph node doesn't reduce in size and rather keeps increasing, better consult your pediatrician
