Started With Some Swelling Lower Left Side Skull Behind Ear.
Question: started with some swelling lower left side skull behind ear. Now I have some pain back of neck to upper back and left shoulder upper arm
Brief Answer:
Can be infection or spondylosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain and mild swelling that you have noticed behind the ear can be due to a swollen lymph node due to an infection in the area or due to spondylottic changes in the cervical spine. A direct examination and an MRI scan of the neck area will help in the proper diagnosis. Taking rest, avoiding using a pillow, mild pain killers and a hot compress can help in relieving this pain.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
