Hard lump next to baby’s ear

Hello, I’m after some advice please from a very worried mum!!
I’ve taken my 16 week old to the GP twice now as the past week he’s been constantly rubbing his right ear and head until it bleeds.
the first time they said nothing is wrong and the second time they have said he’s got a fungal infection in his ear. I was washing his hair tonight and noticed a fairly large hard lump on his head next to his ear. What could this be?? I’m going to call them again tomorrow but now I’m worried sick!

Hi,

could it be a gland? My almost 2YO had a few hard hard lumps on her head/ear as a baby. I’m sure certain glands can be inflamed due to fungal infections
