if it repeated problem..then certainly you shall do sonograms of nodes and best way to diagnose is to get biopsy done...it would make your worry justified ...by proving it is just reactive lymphadenitis or some serious issue.?

Just check for painful swelling behind ear. Pinna. If so then any scalp condition can cause it. Otherwise it is part of cold and due to seasonal change. Just cold medicine will help child for both. It will subside in 2-3 days. Or else you can visit Dr.in your area. Thanks.
