To help with the pain and inflammation, you can try using a throat anesthetic spray to numb the area. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) to reduce the pain and inflammation. Gargling with warm salt water can also help soothe the throat. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Accepted Answer

A lump between the ear and jaw can be concerning!

Given your age and symptoms, possible causes include:

1. *Lymphadenitis*: Inflamed lymph nodes due to infection (e.g., ear, throat, or dental issues).
2. *Parotid gland swelling*: Inflammation of the parotid gland, which can be caused by infection, blockage, or trauma.
3. *Abscess or cyst*: A collection of pus or fluid that can cause pain and swelling.

It's essential to consult a doctor, preferably an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist, for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend:

1. Physical examination
2. Imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan)
3. Blood tests to check for infection or inflammation

In the meantime, apply warm compresses to the area to help reduce pain and discomfort.
