I've had a bee sting about 75 days ago, it was on the top of my head. On the same day i had pain in the left side of my head, on the next day i also had pain, and i noticed a swelling on the back of my head - more specifically near the left ear - and it dissapeared after 7-8 days, but then it appeared again. I'm scared because it was swollen lymph node it surely would not last 45 days, can it be head/neck cancer? The bump is maybe 0.5cm in diameter(well it's hard to say if it's exactly round) and it's not hard or soft, just the skin is raised a little bit. It is located about 3 cm on the right of my left ear(on the back of my head),and it's near the top of the ear, so it's not a lymph node. The bump was little bigger in the beginning than it is currently(when present). The bump dissapeared 2 weeks ago for a day or two and then it reappeared again. I also have a ear infection(left ear) i think, but i'm not sure. So i don't know if it has something to do with the bee sting, the ear infection or something else... Should i visit a doctor?
Hi Dimitar,
If you're concerned, yes, you should visit a doctor. They will be able to check the lump to see if it requires further examination, and will also be able to issue a treatment if you do have an ear infection.

If you have to wait to see a doctor you can always phone them. You can also ask a pharmacist for advice, they are very knowledgable.
