Painful lymph node on left side, some ear pain when ear is touched. ear is red. no flu symptoms and no tonsils. x 3 days now. ear is new?

Cellulitis: This sounds like a soft tissue infection involving the external ear and possibly the external auditory canal. You should be seen as soon as possible by a doctor and have this diagnosed and managed. It can turn very severe quickly if not treated.
