Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to an ear infection.
The lump is related to a reactive lymph node.
The lymph node will go away on its own gradually.
I suggest you tinsel anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen to relieve the swelling.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
