Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Node Behind Ear
I gauged my ear up yesterday from 28mm to 32mm, so I m used to the healing process, but this time there is a lymph node behind my ear that is very swollen and is putting a lot of pressure on my jaw. What should I use to keep the swelling down and keep it clean? Should I use salt water, anti bacterial soap and antibacterial ointment I got from my doctor a couple years ago?

Hello
Swollen lymph node is due to the ear infection and i would recommend that you start on a course of antibiotics . you can apply anti-bacterial ointment 2-3 times a day and keep the ear dry . dont worry , you will be fine!
Take care
