For the past few months I've been dealing with ear, headache, and jaw pain. I've been to the doctor several times. I've had a head CT. Blood work. All are normal. I have had high anxiety levels because I am still awaiting a diagnoses. Now my lymph node, directly below my ear lobe is swollen. Doesn't hurt but feel like a fatty deposit and is just uncomfortable. Been on my second round of antibiotic for two days now. Feels like swelling has gone done but the dull pain/ fullness feeling between my jaw and ear is still there. I also have a ringing in the opposite ear that has the swollen lymph node. I'm at a loss. And now trying to diagnose myself which is more terrifying than helpful. I just want to feel normal again! I feel like my body is betraying me. Is it possible that an infection that I had in my gums months ago could be the underlying issue? It was extremely painful. I went to the dentist and al, they said was I had a receding gum line. However the pain in my gum was so extreme I could barely touch it at all much less brush it. It was never treated with antibiotics but I did gargle some peroxide which alleviated the pain. Which is why I never sought further treatment but soon after all these symptoms started and haven't gone away completely since then. Help!!??
