Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of severe cold a few weeks back followed by bad ear infection, remained with low pitch tinnitus. This type of tinnitus suggests that the infection has traversed to the cochlea or the main nerve, may resolve with proper treatment.
The cause of the swelling behind hte ear and neck is mostly due to the infection from the ear.
You need to continue the antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medicine till all these problems are solved.
