General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi, Thanks for the quey. i understand your concern. The two lumps ( under ear & at the base of neck ) with no lumps any where in body-on left side could be swollen lymph glands , due to infection in Parotid gland, ear, scalp , eye. Detection of site of infection & it's treatment would resolve the lymph node swelling also. Please consult your family physician for detailed examination/needful investigations & specific treatment with Antibiotic, anti inflammatory drugs. to cure the condition. Thanks
