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
