What Causes Tenderness Below The Ear?

I have a tenderness high on my neck, left side, right behind my jawbone, under my ear. It started with like a twinge you get in your mouth when you eat something sour, but it isn t in my mouth. When I put a little pressure on it to see if it would stop, it was painful. Now it doesn t twinge , but it is tender without touch.

thanks for posting your query to hcm . as I understand it could be due to some dental problem , ear problem or because of mumps infection . Mumps is a viral infection start with pain behind ear and within 1 or 2 days swelling appear .It is associated with fever . dental pain usually do not having fever usually but referred pain to ear. Ear problem may produce pain in that area . I suggest you to consult a physician first for local examination and than consult to according surgeon . Presently you can take NSAIDS like aceclophenac for pain relief .

hope it will help .
