Probably reactive lymph node due to an infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The swelling area below the ear is probably related to a reactive lymph node.
The swelling is usually related to a possible infection of the ear.
It can also be related to an upper respiratory tract infection.
A bit more details needed to help me through the diagnosis:
Any fever/cough/cold/runny nose?
Did the swelling grow in size with time?
Do you have a sore throat or difficulty swallowing?
Meanwhile, I recommend taking painkillers such as Acetaminophen every 8 hours to relieve the pain.
I also recommend to use warm compresses for relief.
Waiting for your response to assist you further.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
