What Could Be The Reasons For Having Painful Lump Behind Left Ear And Headache?
I noticed one lump behind my left ear and now another one is there. They are painful to touch and I have a slight headache. Also my left side of my face hurts slightly when I touch it. What could this be ? I am getting over a cold I ve had for 2 weeks
Hi and thanks for the query, The bumps are probably lymph nodes. They get enlarged and become painful in infections. Lymph nodes behind the ears get enlarged due to infections of the scalp. Nothing to worry. Keep a check on them. Regards, Dr Rajkishori
