Should I Be Worried Of Lump Behind Ear And Headaches?

Hi I have a lump directly behind my ear. It doesn't seem to be discolored but it is sensitive to the touch. I haven't been sick lately so I'm not sure if that rules out my lymph nodes. I have been getting headaches a lot lately though. Should I be concerned?

Hello

I think you should be concerned and meet your doctor as you may need antibiotics.
The lump is likely to be an infected lymph node and the headache may also be due to the infection.Please meet your doctor!
Thanks
