Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of a lump on the ear, that is painful.
This indicates that it is an abscess/cellulitis.
I would advise you to consult a Doctor for clinical examination, investigations of blood and give you prescription based treatment comprising an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and refer to the ENT as you may need incision and drainage if the abscess is already formed.
