Understanding your concern. As per your query you have puss-filled lump behind ear. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like abscess , sebaceous cysts , lymphadenopathy , acne mononucleosis , infected lipoma and mastoiditis. But in you case it seems to me that the symptoms are due to abscess. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically to check tenderness and consistency , may order biopsy or blood test. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory. Maintain complete hygiene. For now apply warm compresses and take antihistamine like benadryl twice a day.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
