Could Headaches And Ear Ache Be Related To Lump At The Back Of Mouth?
hi there, i have had ear ache for a few weeks now but has recently started to give me headaches and over the last couple of days i have found a tender lump at the back of my mouth just past where my bottom gum ends. now the ear ache is getting worse a the lump more tender and harder to swallow food. i am now starting to feel it if i rub my neck/ throat from the outside. all my doctor said yesterday was come back in a couple of weeks if there's no change

Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
Can you please upload a picture of your actual tongue lump to further assist you?
According to your saying, I suggest to start antibiotic and anti-inflammatory therapy to reduce the lump together with further evaluation of the ear (especially inner ear).
Keeping good oral hygiene by doing gargle with water and salt is also highly recommended.
