What Causes Painful Lump Behind Ear With Headache And Fever?

my daughter has 3 small (pea sized) bumps behind her ear near/on the bone. They are extreamly painful to the touch. The area is sore. She's had some headaches and a slight fever within the last few days. Others in the house have had sinus/cold symptoms lately... is this just some sort of swollen gland?

Hi,
It seems that she is having enlarged post auricular lymph nodes giving this problem.
It indicates that there might be having active infection in ears or throat.
Go for one antibiotic medicine and anti-inflammatory course for 3-5 days.
Ok and take care.
