Lump in neck behind ear

Question

Asked for Male, 27 Years

I have a small lump in my neck at the back side of the ear for the past 4 years. Recently I am getting pain around that area and other parts of the neck as well. I am not sure whether it is because of the lump or a normal pain because of laptop usage. And sometimes I am getting pain in my throat as well. I am worried about this. Whom should I consult first? Should i check with a general physician or should i meet a ENT specialist?
