Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The swelling below the ear can be related to a swollen lymph nodes.
It is usually related to an ear infection.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the inflammation.
If the symptoms continue, you should consult an ENT specialist.
Hope my answer was helpful.
