Suggest Remedy For Ear Lump
I have found a module in front of my ear opening, but above my jaw line. I have menieres but the last year the symptoms have increased in intensity and occurrence. I also had breast cancer with chemo, radiation, ending in surgery Dec of 13. The menieres made it difficult to recover my strength. Could what I found contribute to imbalance, light headed, mental fog and confusion?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of ear lump above jaw line. The symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition known as ' Lymphadenopathy '. It is swelling of your lymph nodes which are part of your immune system. It is usually caused by a bacterial or viral infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination without any delay, because sometimes infection can spread to surroundings. Doctor may order blood test , X-ray or CT scan to confirm the diagnosis and to rule to condition like cyst. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course at least for a week . Till then give warm compresses to swelling.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
