Hello

Thanks for consulting HCM

I have read your query . As far as swelling in jaw near ear lobe is concerned this can be due to infection of wisdom tooth , inflammation of gums or due to temporomandibular disorder. Dont be worried so much I will suggest you to consult oral Physician for examination and evaluation . Inmeantime do warm saline rinses , maintain proper oral hygiene . You can take medicin like Amoxcillin with Metronidazole by consulting with local doctor .

Hope my answer helps you.
