Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The swelling area below the ear is probably related to a reactive lymph node.

The swelling is usually related to a possible infection of the ear.

It can also be related to an upper respiratory tract infection.

A bit more details needed to help me through the diagnosis:

Any fever/cough/cold/runny nose?

Did the swelling grow in size with time?

Do you have a sore throat or difficulty swallowing?

Meanwhile, I recommend taking painkillers such as Acetaminophen every 8 hours to relieve the pain.

I also recommend to use warm compresses for relief.

Waiting for your response to assist you further.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
