What Could The Knot, Swelling And Red Bumps In Ear Denote?
I have a knot in front of my ear/earlobe on the left side. It is very painful and has caused my face on that side to swell. I also have a headache on that side and find it difficult to open my mouth wide without pain. I also have some small red bumps to appear on that side of my face and on my eye.

it can be herpes simplex infection as it seems from your history but still you should contact an ENT specialist or some physician can also help
