I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Occipital neuralgia can cause pain behind the ears. One of the most common causes of a headache behind the ear is occipital neuralgia. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application and massage the area.
Hope my answer was helpful.
