You might be suffering from post auricular lymph node enlargement which occurs commonly secondary to scalp infections. If there are obvious scalp infections then you need to get treatment for that. If not you may need to take antibiotics and empirical anti dandruff measures
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
