swollen glands behind the ear

I suddenly have a lump that showed up on the my right ear just below the ear lobe, its small but very painful to touch and is very hard. It moves when you touch it and it has caused my ear a slight swelling. It's not red or anything and the ear lobe doesn't hurt when it's touch, if anyone has some kinda of info on what it could be please email me at ***@****.

So, what could be causing these jabbing pains which vary but are always in the same places (ie groin seam between leg and groin, up a but round the waist, behind the ear at the bottom) Thanks

These days, I found pain swollen glands in my neck, behind my ear and under groin. Today, I went to see the doctor, he confirmed the swollen glands. And he also found I have sore throat, I dont feel anything about it. All the swollen glands cannot be seen by appearance. I dont have fever, no diarrhea, no weight loss. I also did the normal blood test, which showed WBC, RBC and all others are good. I am still concered abou HIV infection. I am wondering the risk of being infected by HIV.

I have sharp pains like lighting on the left side of my head from bottom of my neck where the glands are to behind the ear and some times they are so sharp that it leaves the area kind of numb. They last about 2 seconds. My neck is very tender and the doctor thinks that it might be related to my acid reflux problems. can anyone help me.

Hi i was told by the doctor in the hiv forum that small 0.5cm lump behind ear would be a symptom for hiv but i have since seen a post from a person who has hiv complaining of a lymph node behind his/her ear? is it even possible to not have any symptoms then get them like 7 months later?

Also, I have some sort of bump (about the size of a pea) behind my left ear where the ear and the mastoid meet. I am only concerned now because I have been reading the internet (bad move) and have read cases where people say they never had unprotected sex but still turned up positive. I also wanted to post something because I have not read about someone being told to move on that they are being stupid and then come back and say you were wrong in your advice.

It ended up scabbing and over and the type of person i am is i pick my scabs its a nasty habbit but all of a sudden i woke up one morning and i had to hard large lumps under the skin right under my right ear on the same side of were the scab that i have been picking behind the right ear.

Tonight, I can also feel it in my ear, along with the back right side of my tongue. The pain in the glands is so sore, painful to the touch. My ear and tongue are nowhere near as painful. Any ideas or clues? I appreciate any responses :) I am new to this site and the forums, and will fill in my profile soon!

I was diagnosed with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (which I knew was a possibility) and while I was there I mentioned my swollen nodes to the P.A who saw me first and she said swollen glands are normal. The next day, I knew something wasn't right so I checked my whole body for Swollen glands and found a very hard immovable (feels fixed to the bone) where the bottom of my ear behind my earlobe meets my neck. It is not visible but i can feel it.

Does anyone know what pain behind the right or left ear, sometimes it is very bad could be?

It looks like acne in a cyst form, but it itches, and now for the past 36 hours my gland near that area (near my ear) has been swollen. Am I having an allergic reaction to something like a spider bite? What can I do?

The problem could be with your ear, your jaw joint, or even with your parotid gland which is the saliva gland that sits in front of your ear. I would recommend an evaluation with an ENT. We would be happy to see you at UK HealthCare. You can call 800-333-8874 or go online at ukhealthcare.uky.edu/appointment to request an appointment.

are the swollen glands behind the ears on each side of the neck? or you mentioned cheeks. If so it could be TMJ but if behind your ears it could also be your salivary glands. See, if they become swollen more often. mention it to your doctor. There is a disease of the salivary glands call sjogrens syndrome. I pray you do not have that.

The most common cause of swollen glands or lymph nodes is infection. This may include infection in the head such as in the ear, tonsils, gums or teeth and even the skin in these parts or other conditions such as autoimmune conditions and even malignancy. Pain medications may help provide relief. However, If it persists, diagnostic tests such as blood tests and direct physical examination may need to be done. Antibiotics may be indicated for bacterial infections.

Hi, I'm a 24 year old, fit and normally healthy male. Three weeks ago I began to feel very ill in work, and the following day went to the docs, who told me i had tonsillitis. I had the usual symptoms of bad headache, neckache, swollen white covered tonsils. i took antibiotics for this, and the swelling of the tonsils generally cleared up. However, for the past couple of weeks, I still haven't felt right. Firstly, my right tonsil returned to being very sore and swollen.

Contrary to your belief, lymph nodes are present behind your ear, the region that connects the ear to your head. They are inflamed or swollen in infections of the ear, sinusitis, dandruff in the head and maybe even in dental abscess and caries. Since the swelling is painful you should consult your PCP and discuss these possibilities with him. Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining the swelling. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted.

I have 2 very close together hard knots behind my left ear for almost 2 months. sometimes I cant hear out of that ear at all. my scalp is very tender especially around that area. Started getting more frequent headaches. I have not been sick in awhile not even with allergies, At first I thought is lymph glands. But it is not resolving. Any ideas guys. no insur...

Hi, I'm new to all this posting so excuse me if it doesn't make sense, I'm a 28yr old female and I've been suffering from swollen glands which is tender and slightly painful sometimes but not all the time in my neck for over a month now, but also my jaw and ears and behind my ears but no sore throat my doctor is sending me for blood tests but also advised me to see a dentist, I'm starting to worry it could something serious as I like to panic And over think think things since

Then later on the pain moved behind my head, neck, and ear on the right side. I still feeling preasure on my eye brown (right side). The pain wakes me up in the middle of the night every time i move my head. Is that sinus infection?

I have taken 10 days of Omnicef and most recently(this week) i just finished 250mg Zpack but I still have the discharge. Back in November I notice the gland behind my right ear was swollen. For the past week, my neck is tight under my ears and jaw and under my armpits. Today I noticed the gland in my right groin is rock hard and the size of a large pea. I cannot feel the left groin gland. It does not hurt to touch but it makes it uncomfortable to sit and have some minor testicular pain.
