Suggest A Remedy For Hard Knots In The Ear With Bruises

I have a huge hard knot behind my left ear. It s been there for a while. I woke up Thursday and it was hurting and swollen so bad I was dizzy. The doctor tried to drain it Friday but it was hard as a rock and nothing came out. Now its bruised and more swollen. I m on medicine but it s not seeming to help any.

This is probably a post auricular lymph node. Please send me the pictures of the lesions and also tell me do you have any pain in your jaw or ear?
