Lymp node back of ear 10 month old baby
Hello Sir/Maam,
My 10 month old baby revently developed a lymp node on backside of ear(small in size but can be seen and felt) on around 19th may. We visited doctor on 21st may and gave antibiotics based on the prescription for 5 days. Doctor mentioned could be because of the dandruff or craddle cap that gets stored in the head.
Today is 30th May and the node size has neither increased nor decreased, but we are worried on how to go about it.

You can wait for a few more days for it to decrease. If size increases or new ones appear, visit physically
