hi najam,
you told me there's gland behind the ear you should tell me whether it is painful or not sometimes swollen gland can be because of dandruff also if it is the case then you should take antibiotic course amox 500mg once a day along with ibuprofen.but if it is not that case and only swollen gland present in the under arm then go for a biopsy....
take care
