Hello,

Treatment of infra-auricular lump below the ear-
The painful lump below ear could be -Parotitis-as its very painful and is present lately. Your ENT-doctor may be planning incision and drainage to save the parotid gland function by decompressing the pyogenic process.

I would advise you to consult emergency room ENT-surgeon and excise it completely under antibiotic cover. So keep cool and consult your emergency room ENT- surgeon, if need be, who would treat it accordingly. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you.


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

Regards,
Dr. Mukund Savaskar
