Suggest Remedy For Lumps

I am 27, female, I have a lump under my left ear; it feels like it is coming from underneath my mastoid process. I have had recurrent ear infections and a white looking ear canal, I get pain along my cheekbone and down my left nostril. I have had an ultra sound and it looked normal. i have taken countless amounts of antibiotics. I get a lot of bone pain. it seems the main cause of discomfort is the cheekbone, nose bone, and back of the skull behind the left ear. recently when i have been to the doctors they have said my ear lo9oks fine but I’m still feeling this painful lump and getting pain in the bone areas mentioned above. I have been booked in for a CT Scan in 3 weeks. Does anyone know what this is as I feel the doctors I’m seeing don’t have any idea and I’m suffering from stress related symptoms now due to this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
