Suggest Treatment For Inner Ear Infection And High Fever

i went to the doctor about 3 weeks ago for a right ear, inner ear infection, they gave me some drops to put in and sent me on my way, yesterday my ear started to hurt me again, and i had some of the ear drops left, my wife told me that i had a high fever that night, and my neck was swollen, i have a red spot the size of a dollar coin and a knot in the center, its located right under my ear, my neck was also sore close to my collar bone, when i tried to get up i had a horrific pain in my chest on the left side right where the ribcage splits. i tried to use some of the ear drops, but my ear is completely swollen shut, could this be a returning of my inner ear infection, or am i looking at more serious problems? And would should i ask the doctors to look at when i go to the hospital. Thanks

hello, thanks for your query, first thing, it's a middle ear infection with ear drum involvement. lymphnode enlargement with extending infection needs ent consultation for appropriate oral antibiotic and ear antibiotic.

repeated ear infection could be due to sinus infection or repeated water per ear.

visit an ent surgeon.

Hope I have answered your query, all the best. take care.
