<s>[INST] my 11 month old son has had a fever for the last two days (temp 38-39) and tonight I have noticed two lumps behind his left ear and one behind his right. His temperature at the moment is 38.1 despite having panadol 4 hours ago. Should I take him to emergency tonight or wait until tomorrow? He took his fluids today but refused diet which is unusual for him. [/INST] Hi, welcome to forumFrom history I understand that there is mild grade fever with small lumps being both ears. The lumps are quite a common finding in kids if this age. About the fever , kindly sponge the child from top to bottom with normal tap water with each fever spike, along with fever medication. if fever continues even after 49-72 hours or if child had high fever the visit your pediatrician in OPD. no need to rush to ED </s>
