Hi,
I understand your concern.
The strange ball shape lump on the neck under the ear is lumph node. It might be swollen due to an acute infection of:
- ear itself
- any bad teeth
- throat
A good ENT examination is advised further to determine the right diagnosis.
Keep good oral hygiene. Take paracetamol or Ibuprofen.
Wish fast recovery.
