Ear infection: Most likey you have an ear infection because your ear has drainage & you have earache swollen, painful post auricular lymph node. You could be having wisdom tooth too. Please see your doctor ASAP. Feel better

Why Not Both?: Because of the swelling and drainage, you have an ear infection. See your ENT Physician for treatment. Once that's under control, see an Oral Surgeon to take care of your wisdom teeth.
