    Small lumps behind ear

    So a few weeks ago I noticed 3 small lumps on the bone behind my right ear. 2 are tiny the size of a lentil and move around when pushed. The middle one is more flat, a bit bigger and seems attached. There is no pain or any other side effects. They dont seem to have changed size or shape. I have no health issues allergies etc. I did some research on google which of course made me even more anxious. Any one have any idea if it is something serious or something to be worried about?

    Re: Small lumps behind ear

    They're lymph nodes. It's normal for them to be raised sometimes. Especially if you've had a cold or infection in the last few weeks.
    Google will no doubt have you planning your funeral, but in reality, 99% of swollen lymph nodes are harmless reactive nodes.
