Suggest Medication For Pain In Ear Below Jaw

I have pain in my ear and down to my jaw. I can feel a lump between my ear and top of my jaw which is very sore when touched. The pain started a few months ago when I was eating and drinking but would only last for a few seconds. Since yesterday the pain has been constant all the time.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the swelling could be because of a tooth infection leading to abscess formation or it could be because of obstruction of salivary gland duct by a stone in the duct. if i am your treating doctor i would have suggested a radiograph of that region like OPG and sialography to rule out tooth infection and salivary gland disorder respectively. mean while i would have suggested you to take a coourse of antibiotics and analgesics. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
