Suggest Treatment For Lump In Left Side Of Neck

Hi I am 17 years old, 5ft1 & 7stone. I discovered a lump in the left side of my neck about 3 months ago, it's a little painful and has changed in size. I have been to my doctors and they have said it's most probably a lymph node from a virus I didn't know I had. But I've had a blood test and it came back normal? About a week ago my ear on the same side of the lump has completely gone and I cannot hear. Also now have pain in the left side of my jaw and the left side of my neck/face/jaw feels numb. Quite worried as I am only 17 and want to get rid of the annoying shooting pains!
