What Causes Pain Behind Ears While Turing Head?
my 12 yr old daughter has complained only today that when she turns her head to the side it feels as though the skin behind the ear is going to tear. I have had a look and there is no redness or obvious spot but as you run your finger up behind the ear just as you get to bone the is a soft lump and she said it is extremely painful just under there. Any ideas would be helpfull

Hello. I jut read through your question.
the most likely cause of the discomfort in this case is a strained muscle. It could have happened during activity, or even during sleep, considering her sleep position. Warm compresses usually speed up the healing time. However, the discomfort will resolve on its own as the muscle loosens up. There is no need to be overly concerned.
