Hello.
Thank you for the query.
From your description this lumps are enlarged lymph nodes for sure. As you have also some discharge with pus, inflammation is the reason.
Any inflammatiin in the head area can be very serious as it is close to the brain.
So please do not wait with it. Consult laryngologist. If its an abscess, should be drainex. Antibiotic is necessary.
Hope this will help.
