Hi, I understand your concerns, but the lump behind his ears is only a lymph node reaction to the infection he has. It requires no treatment, it should go back to normal size slowly when the infection subsides. If it becomes painful or red then it will require an antibiotic. For fever, you can give him acetaminophen every 8 hours, as this will help him calm down as well. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
