General & Family Physician,  's  Response
thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com....

see you are suffering from acute infection of the neck and jaw area maybe ear infection or pharyngitis....can be dental infection also....the lumps are enlarged lymph nodes which have occurred due to acute infection...
you should undergo a thorough examination of your ear and throat and i would suggest you to go to an ENT specialist....
in the meantime, dont try to do anything by yourself....take tab coamoxyclav 625 thrice daily for 5 days and take paracetamol tablet 650 SOS for pain or fever.....

hope this was useful.....
contact me for any further queries.....
will be happy to help.....
regards
