Lump behind my ear

Ive just found a lump behind my ear, its quite tender to touch but its not that big, about 1cm or something round there. I showed my mum and she said it looks a little bit red and sore.

Ive also had bad ear ache for the last couple of days and a sore neck and shoulders.

Could they be linked and should i be worried :nervous:

    Either you have a pimple behind your ear that has been forming and has caused you to have an earache or possibly you have had an earache that caused a lymph node behind your ear to swell.


    If you begin to run a fever, I would contact a doctor to see if you need to have it lanced or get on antibiotics.

    as said it sounds like swollen glands. had that a fe weeks back. they swell cause your body is fighting an infection and if you have ear ache you probably have some sort of infection there.they generally swell near the area that is infected.
