I have a very swollen (hard) gland that goes from the back of my ear, down into my neck, not very painful. My outer ear is red and swollen, no pain inside. I feel like I have a burning, bruised rash that started behind my ear and now goes up to my temple and down around the bottom of my hairline. I now have a very bad headache. Not sure if I have a fever, if I do it s very low grade.Not sure if I need treatment now, or if it can wait .Thank you for your time and advice.Cheryl
