[|Human|] Hi I noticed 2 days ago a lump behind my right ear not actually on my ear and it hurts, I dnt even have to touch it and it hurts, ive been having headaches and I was dizzy yesterday but not that much today. I cnt tell if it grew or stayed the same size when I noticed it 2 nights ago, I only have pain nothing else except dizziness here n there
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query painful lump on the ear is mostly due to unripe Boil or the infection of the ear lobe. It could be enlarged lymph nodes, lymph nodes respond to infection/inflammation and Eustachian tube salpingitis with throat infection. I would suggest you to do gargles with Listerine antiseptic mouth wash. Take a course of penicillin antibiotics + anti-inflammatory medicines like paracetamol + diclofenac combination Chat Doctor.  Visit ENT specialist if symptoms keeps on persisting. Go for surgical excision if it is not treatable medicinally. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
