A member asked:
While eating something spicy, i noticed on neck under earlobe was swollen. ear hurts and when i eat the swelling goes back up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swelling: Sounds like parotid gland problem. Could be a "stone' or mucus plug. Drink water, massage swelling, apply hot compresses, suck on lemon drops. May need to see ENT.
