What Is The Painful Knot Behind The Right Ear?
I just noticed a knot behind my right ear and the pain goes down my neck. My neck is very stiff and painful to the touch. Touching the base of the knot, the pain extends down 3-4 inches. Had a fever over 100 yesterday but it is normal today. Any ideas?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to an enlarged lymph node.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
The enlarged lymph nodes are very common in case of an infection.
Antibiotics may also be needed to treat the infection.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
