A member asked:

A lump on under my jaw, my ear feels like i have a ear infection but i don't all on my left side of neck, hurts but i don't have strep i got tested?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Infection: You still have an infection...And it could be viral or bacterial. A negative strep is nice but sometimes it cannot be found on the tonsils if it is in the lymph node itself. Your ear hurts because the pain is referred up the eustachian tube to your ear fro your throat. Homeopathic pulsatilla may help as may gargling with salt water. Your doctor may also prescribe antibiotics if it is persistent.
