Hi, Last night the outside of my ear started hurting and as the night went on it got unberable. When i woke up this morning i had 2 bumps about the size of a penny one one the temporal part of my occipital bone and one on the mastoid process. The pain has slight eased but but its still pretty bad?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms can be related to reactive lymph nodes.
They are enlarged in case of an infection in the ear.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.
I also suggest using antibiotics ear drops to treat the infection locally.
If the symptoms continue I suggest using antibiotics such as Augmentin.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
