Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain lumps in back of neck, head and sweling behind ear can be all due to swollen lymph nodes also known as LYMPHADENOPATHY and it is commonly due to infections..

You should consult an Emergency room and get evaluated..

In case of infections and inflammation antibiotics like Augmentin and anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen can be advised..

In case if there is some doubt still left Biopsy of lymph nodes can be done..

Hope this helps..
