Do you have a cold? Could be glands...

Where abouts exactly behind your ear? Are they higher up near the bone, or lower down towards your throat?

Also, have you banged your head recently?

I agree with "princess", almost certainly glands. Have you had an infection on your scalp, ear infection or even dandruff?

thank you both, i have not bumped my head and the bumps are behind my ear on the bone i think but i can't be sure as they are quite hard like bone anyway. i do feel a little unwell.

thank you, any more ideas? i do feel a little under the weather but it would be good to have an idea of what it might be and if i have to go to the doctor, any advice is greatly appreciated

It could also be a cyst. They can be painful, but are not always so. They are not normally dangerous, but they can restrict blood foow if they are near veins. Could also be an ingrown hair or boil.
