Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
It could be due to some local infection in oral cavity or inside the ear. Start on a short course of antibiotics for five to seven days. If pain and nodes persist consult a physician.
Wishing you good health
Thanks
