Swelling Under Ear Lobe, Sore To Touch. Taking Wellbrutin For Depression. Side Effect Of Medication?
My son has swelling right under his ear lobe, it first started on the right side and now it is on the left side and it is sore to the touch. He started taking a new medication called wellbrutin for depression the swelling started the day after he started the medicine. He quit taking it after two days but it is still swollen and sore to the touch. Could this be the medicine or something else?
The swelling below the ear may not be due to the medicines he has started. It may be a infected lymph gland which is causing soreness. It will be better if you can start an antibiotic like quinolones according your son's age. Please add some paracetamol so that the pain can be relieved.
