Sore spot behind ear
What I believe to be my mastoid has been sore to the touch for about 2 days now. The day that it began I was doing yard work for about 6 hours. I have had this problem before and it usially just went away. Should I be worried? My lymph node right below it is also large and I can feel it when i touch it.
