What Causes Headache, Pain In Lower Back Of Head, Sore Behind Ears?

I have had a head ache since the weekend and now have pain in the lower back of my head. One lump has come up on the right side at the back of my head and a smaller one on the left. It feels very sore over the skin and behind my ears. My head feels hot and I have flushed cheeks. Any ideas? Don t feel myself and keep going a bit dizzy!

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history and symptoms suggests me that you are having some infection which is leading to all these problems. The sore behind the ear has lead to enlarged and tender lymph node in the neck.

Because of the infection you are having constitutional symptoms like myalgia, fever and headache.
I would suggest you to follow
1.Course of oral antibiotics for 5 days
2.NSAIDs
3.Routiene Blood investigation.
With the above remedies your condition will improve and you feel relieved.
Thank you
