Hello, I have been experiencing pain and tenderness on the left side of my face at the lower end of my earlobe. When I touch the area it is very painful but I don t see any lumps at the site of pain. My left ear has a eustation tube issue and is usually clogged and feels as if there is always fluid in it. When I move my jaw around I can hear a sound inside. I don t have health insurance and would like to know if this is worth paying the money to see a doctor. Thank you.
