Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have ear infection and lumps on ears. It seems to be due to bacterial or fungal infection , wax build up, fluid accumulation, Eustachian tube dysfunction and systemic disease infection. The lumps on ear could be due to allergic reaction or folliculitis .Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply cold compresses to external ear on lumps. You should keep your ear dry until it gets alright , which is very important and cover your ear while bathing. Tka over the counter anti histamine like benadryl twice a day. Put Otogesic ear drops. You should go for audiometer testing as well to check hearing level. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may examine by otoscopic means to check level of infection. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics amoxicillin at least for a week along with decongestants.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
