Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Ear
A few days ago I noticed my right ear seemed to be "stopping up".
That is about the same but there is a swelling - very slight -below the ear about the size of a quarter. If I press to the back of the swelling, sometimes there is just a little pain. I don't know if this is a gland or a lymph node (I don't think there are nodes in that particular spot, but I don't know. It's not getting worse each day, but it's not getting better either. Should I go to the doctor?
Or should I try ear drops?
