What Is Persistent Pain In And Around The Ear Suggestive Of?

Good Evening- I have had pain in my ear, behind my ear and the base of my skull for a year. Currently I have in addition some swelling in my neck and a tender lymph node. I have been treated with antibiotics which helps and cuts the edge off of the pain- but never completely takes care of the issue. I am so ready to get to the bottom of this and would appreciate any help. Thank you so much! Toni
