What Does A Knot Behind The Ear Indicate?
Hi. I have a hard fixed knot right behind my left ear...like right at the base of my ear. It is painless to the touch however I do feel a bit of pressure within my ear. I have been monitoring it for two weeks now and now noticing a sore throat with a bit of hoarseness....but not really feeling sick per say. Could this be something I should get checked?? I really don t like going to drs....sorry. Thank you.
