Brief Answer:
Possible migraine?Need further investigations
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I can understand your concern.
This could be an atypical migrainous form of a headache.
Since the location is unusual behind the ear, it is important that you get a CT scan to rule out any organic abnormalities.
The treatment would be based on test results.
If CT scan is normal, then a short course of anti migrainous and analgesic therapy will be useful.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you
