Hi,Dear,Welcome with your query to HCM.
Studied your query in full depth of its details.Reviewed it in context of your health concerns.
Based On the facts, You mostly seem to suffer from-
JD lymphadenitis with Mastoid abscess with post triangle lymphadenitis.The blisters deveoloped lately behind ear is indicative of progressive mastoid abscess pointing behind the ear in subcutaneous burrowing.
Thus these lumps were the result of the Acute On Chronic Pharyngitis with Mastoiditis with Lymphadenitis of the regional nodes.
The severe wincing pain is explained by this acute attack ,which flared up the Chronic Mastoiditis and lead to Mastoid Abscess lately.
CT Skull with Sinus studies and mastoid bone study would fix the diagnosis and would assess the extent of damage by this acute on chronic Mastoiditis.
Treatment -
Would be by Ent Surgeon-By Antibiotic cover +Anti-inflammatory
with Mastoid Drainage with bone debridement to remove the chronic bony infection in mastoid boney air cells.
Support of fluids / diet and Vitamins is needed for fast recovery.
Hope that ,This reply would help you to plan further treatment soon with your treating doctors.Best of Luck and early recovery.
Welcome any further query in this regard,which would be replied in next
session.
Good Day!!
