What Causes Small Painless Bump Near My Temple?

Hi, I am 19 and 6 foot. Six months ago a small bump appeared near my temple. I considered this to be a swollen lymph node since I fought off an ear infection two months after it appearance. The ear infection has been long gone and it is still there. It is small and painless yet sometimes it is the clear reason for my headaches. It typically get larger when I am agitataed and it starting to become worrisome. What is this and what should I do? I did some research and apperantly a lymph node not suppose to stay swallowen for a month.
