Suggest Treatment For Painful Swelling Of Lymph Nodes Behind The Ears
I am wondering what could be causing painful swelling of the lymph nodes directly behind my ear and just below in my neck only on the right side of my head. It is very painful and also causing pain to radiate up to the outside of my ear and into my right eye. I also have some painful bumps on my scalp.

Hi,
Looking to the history it seems that due to having painful bumps om your scalp leading to enlarged painful lymph nodes in the neck and post auricular region.
There might be having some bacterial infection on scalp.
Consult your doctor and get scalp examined.
You might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days.
With cure of scalp lesion you will be alright.
Ok and take care.
