Nevermind, I figured out which comment you were replying to, lol. Anyway, mastoiditis is an infection of the mastoid bone of the skull, which happens to both be just behind the ear and very porous, so bacteria that are in the ear can get into it and have a freakin' party in there; so I'd imagine that it probably feels like somewhere between a really bad ear infection and meningitis.
But you are apparently lacking the classic sign of swelling and/or redness behind the ear, so I wouldn't worry about it unless you develop that and/or if your symptoms don't clear up after you finish the course of antibiotics the doctor presumably gave you.
