"what is it?" It's time to go to the doctor. While "knots" would seem to imply a subcutaneous origin, it's impossible to tell without direct examination. It could well be of a lymphatic or intramuscular origin but in any case YOU NEED TO SEE A MEDICAL DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.

∙ 15y agoOften, a knot behind the ear is caused by a swollen lymph gland. Question: Do you have an infected scalp wound, or active (infected/draining) cyst...? Recent external ear infection? These are the two things I would think of initially from your question tht could cause a lymph gland to be "swollen". Is this in an infant or young child? Did this appear following a bad viral infection? Those can cause a lymph gland to swell in young children.

∙ 17y agoThis sounds like you have a boil, You should apply hot compresses to it and go in to have it either lanced, or they may only give you antibiotics for the infection. They possibly may do both. You do not want this to get into your bloodstream it could make you seriously ill. This is something you should get checked as soon as you can

∙ 17y agoIt could be your job (the way you have to tilt your head or work on a computer all day) or it's the way you are sleeping. Many pillow companies swear by having the best pillow ever and believe me, I've tried them all. What I ended up doing is going to the a medical pharmacy and bought a roll of foam that is encased in a blue material with zipper so it can be washed. You take the roll and place it inside at the long end of your pillow. Be sure you sleep on that end of the pillow. This gives your neck great support. If you are really pain I suggest you go to a Chinese Herbalist as they have a fantastic herbal poultis that takes the pain away in less than a day. I was in awe. 10 years ago I got some type of virus and couldn't move my neck and that's what the Chinese Herbalist gave me. I was so pleased I went back and got too more for fear the pain would come back. Acupuncture is also a good form of getting rid of pain. Try getting that roll for your pillow. Works wonders!
