What Is The Cause Of Soreness And Tenderness Behind The Ears Post A Sinus Infection ?
Hello, the area directly behind both of my ears is sore and tender to touch. This seems to happen whenever I am getting a sinus infect ( I have alot of sinus issues in my life). Could this be lymph pain or something more like mastoiditis? I am a 36 yo female. thanks.

hi
welcome to healthcaremagic
if you are refering to the sinuses in the face (paranasal sinus) then it might be a cause of concern (mastoiditis is RULED OUT).
advise you to consult an ENT surgeon at the earliest
do keep us posted
