Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query you have lump inside your ear . Well there can be many reasons for lump in ear like infection also known as otitis externa , cyst , swollen lymph node or hematoma from minor injury . Need not to worry. It could be due to sever infection in tooth as well which is leading to facial space infection. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist . Doctor will examine with otoscope and order test like CT scan , MRI or x-ray to confirm diagnosis and rule out other causes . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( amoxicillin ) for at least 10 days , remove with the help of suction device or remove it surgically . For now keep your ear dry and apply dry warm compresses to external ear .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
