Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You are having parotid swelling as well as some your problem history as well. So your local parotid gland examination and ear examination is needed. Otoscopy examination also needed. If inflammatory swelling is more than short term steroid course can be prescribed. If ear infection is present then antibiotic ear drop or oral antibiotic can be prescribed. Consult otorhinolaryngologist for examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
