Strange Lump behind my Ear

Yesterday I noticed a lump behind my ear.  When I went to show my partner it, the lump had gone.  Later it came back again and I noticed the effects it has on me when it again disappeared.  It leaves me with a straining feeling in my eye, then tooth ache.  Today, the lump has came and went about 7 or 8 times.  The pain in the eye and the pain in the tooth the same when it goes.  Any clues?  I'd take myself to the Doctor... if it would stay long enough!

It sounds like a Lymph node maybe you have had an infection recently and nodes do enlarge then .

I can't remember exactly what it's called, but it's connected to the sinuses somehow. Had a friend with the same problem. He just took Tylenol.
