How To Get Rid Of Lump Behind My Ear?

Hi,
I have a small lump straight behind my ear (where the ear ends and the scull starts) that looks like a part of a vain and it hurts when I touch it. It's been there now for a few days now, didn't change anywhere, but I'm still worried because it looks like a swollen vain and hurts. Before the lump appeared, i had problem with the very same ear because it got blocked every now and then without any reason. I'm a 19 years old girl, not over-weighted and I do have naturally low blood pressure. I don't have any serious diseases. Thank you for answering.
