I need to be sure I m not contagious due to my son can t be getting sick. I also have been experiencing head aches. What could this be?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having enlarged lymph node behind your ear.
It indicates that there might be having some infection in surrounding area like ears, throat, head etc.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
A course of antibiotic will solve your problem.
Ok and take care.
