Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lump behind ear and recurrent headaches which seems to be due to enlarged post auricular lymph nodes. Need not to worry. You should take course of antibiotic such as Amoxicillin along with anti-inflammatory medication. Apply warm compresses. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for complete examination and start treatment accordingly. Maintain hygiene over the area. Avoid touching and pricking it with sharp object.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
