What Can Cause A Hard Knot Behind The Ear ?
Hi! I have a recently discovered a hard knot behind my ear right where the skull starts. I have recently gotten sick and I noticed it at about the same time as I came down with this cold... is it most likely a swollen lymph node? It just seems like a weird place for a lymph node. Thanks.
