What Causes A Hard Lump Near The Ear?
I have a hard lump in front of my ear on the right side, it feels like bone and as if it s attached to my jaw bone. I also have toothache and have had some welling in a lymph node in my neck on the same side. I had my lower right wisdom tooth removed 2 months ago.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
It can be possible that there might be some infection still left in the jaw bone after wisdom tooth extraction, which is causing all these problems.
To confirm the diagnosis you have to get a full mouth x - ray done which will show the complete infection.
Hope it will help you.
