Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of lymph nodes enlargement in hte cervical region, hence the knots behind the ears are obviously post-auricular lymph nodes unless proved otherwise.
I would advise you the following:
Go for FNAC of the larger and the post-auricular lymph nodes.
Consult an ENT Surgeon
Tests of blood and urine.
Biopsy of one of hte nodes if required.
This will give the proper diagnosis and the plan for further treatment.
