Suggest Treatment For Swelling From Mid-ear To Jaw

I just noticed a good sized area of swelling from my mid-ear down to across my jaw halfway towards my chin. It feels fairly hard and when I turn my head I feel tightness. It also occurs when I open my mouth.My ear has a different feeling, like it is a little plugged. No sharp pain involved...just a dull feeling.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, you need to inform us
1 is the swelling of recent onset or it has been there for long.
2 do you have any difficulty in swallowing.
3 is there excess or less than normal saliva in your mouth,
4 is it tender on touching
5 any other complains like fever associated.
if you have yes to these questions than probably you need to see a ent surgeon at the earliest, as it could be a growth.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
