General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Occipital neuralgia can cause pain behind the ears.
One of the most common causes of a headache behind the ear is occipital neuralgia.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application and massage the area.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
