Swollen glands behind ear
Posted: 02-11-08 01:26am

last night a stray cat bit me above my left eye. Tonight almost exactly 24 hours later I noticed 2 hard bumps behind left ear swelling and hurting.Could this be caused from the cat bite?The bite and bumps may be a coincidence?but not sure.Are the bumps something serious-like should I see a dr. right away or should I wait to see what happens?Any suggestions?

I don't know if that could be due to the cat bite; however, you may be infected - cat bites are notorious for being infectious. I'd go to a doctor as soon as possible.
