What Causes A Lump Behind The Ear With Soreness On Scalp And Headache?
Hi,
Just noticed a pea sized lump behind my hear, just below the hairline. The scalp on the same side of my head above the lump is very sore to the touch. I also have a headache & am dizzy, as if this wasn't enough, my temple on the same side is very tender to the touch. Could this be a infection or some type of migraine?
Thanks

It is probably a lymph node which has swollen due to infection..go for a course of antibiotic such as amoxicillin+clavulanic acid(625mg) three times a day for five days..
