question: I have an 11 month old boy who for about 2 weeks has been pulling at his right ear. He has been afebrile, plays well, eats well. He had a double ear infection about 2 months ago, when the right ear drum ruptured. I noticed tonight he has a couple of semi-hard lumps behind his ear. Are these swollen lymph nodes or something more serious?  I am debating taking him to his ped in the morning to make sure he's not battling an ear infection again.
