How To Deal With Tenderness And Swelling In Ear Due To Lump?

I have a painful lump behind my right ear, near the base of my skull. Came on suddenly and caused heat in my face and my ear to turn red. I took benadryl in case it was because of a bite; red ear is gone today, but tenderness and swelling is still present behind my ear/neck.
