Hello, Welcome to HCM, i appreciate your concern. This may be a external or middle ear infection followed by lymph node swelling in the neck. You can start taking some analgesic and some antibiotics like amoxycillin+clavulinic acid. I also shall advise you to consult an ent specialist as early as possible.because proper investigation is necessary too.. Hope this is helpful. Regards.
