I woke up last friday feeling like I had a cold with a runny nose and everything. and then Sat and Sunday I was fine until today (monday) that I woke up with a slight headache and it hurts right where the jaw hurts behind my ears and when i swallow it hurts too. could it be a cold or an ear infection? what can I take to prevent it from it getting to an ear infection or a bad cold?

Also on the left side behind my ear like I touch it and I have like a small lump like if you touch into the jaw.

    If your neck is stiff and if your back hurts when you lay down and bend your knees up to your chest if that is very uncomfortable for you it may be meningitis. Otherwise you may have strep. Go see your doctor right away.
