    It's impossible for us to tell what this lump could be... It could be a swollen lymph node... It could be a cyst.

    You really need to take her to her pediatrician to have this looked at and treated properly.

    I get these all the time. They hurt sooo much. I just massage it gently and it goes away after a few days. I get them on my ear lobes too. My sister, who's a doctor says its most probably a swollen lymp node. If it doesn't go away after a week or two, you should have your daughter checked out because it could be something else. If she wears earings, take them out.

    Since this is a 2 year old, I would not wait 2 weeks. Time for a check up pronto to find out what it is.
