I have pains that come and go right side of head over ear. not sharp. they last about 5 seconds then stop then return then go away for a while. tumor?

Not a tumor: Might enquire about potential problem in distribution of greater occipital nerve. Some migraine variants such as "ice pick" headaches may present this way. Most neurologists can readily sort this out.
