What Causes Pain And Tenderness Behind Left Ear?
I am having pain and tenderness behind my left ear and the area is swollen, I am concerned this has never happened to me before. I noticed the sore spot a few days ago and massaged the area thinking that would help and it only made the pain spread and swell. I have had no fever, no ticks, basically I m at a lose, it is very warm to the touch as well. Thank you for your time Rachel Bezanson
