What Is The Cure For Ear Pain, Swollen Gland And Balance Problem?
My eustachian tube was clogg the end of October, it got better. Now for the past week, I have a ear ache, swollen gland on the front left side of my throat, balance off. I have no sore throat, and no problems swallowing. I did take an antobic of penicillun that I got from my doctor the end of October and the balance being off stopped, the ear ache stopped, but the gland in my throat is still swollen and when I rub it, or bend my chin down to my chest its sore.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
1.the lump is a lymph node draining the ear(middle ear )
2. since all the other symptoms of middle ear infection have reduced ,the lump will reduce too .
3 do not handle/rub the sore gland . take a painkiller and vitamin supplements for a few days
4. gargling with betadine gargle soln.or saline warm water will relieve soreness .
