Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Most probably you might be suffering from otitis externa(inflammation of the outer ear ) or parotitis(inflammation of the parotid gland below the ear). Continue taking Antibiotic:Amoxycillin. Also take Analgesic with Antiinflammatory like Ibuprofen,along with Antacid like Rantac. Don't clean your ear by self. If there is no improvement in reduction of lymph glands,then it would be advisable to have an Ultrasound examination of that area(USG),along with a fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the lymph swelling for the diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
