What causes pain behind the ear?
If you have persistent pain behind your ear, there are a few potential causes:
1-Occipital neuralgia >>> type of headache caused by an injury or pinched nerves in your neck.
2- Mastoiditis :( affecting the bone behind your ear)
this occurs when bacteria cause the bone to become infected or inflamed.
3-Dental problems:
It’s entirely possible that headache pain behind your ear comes from an impacted or abscessed tooth
