Hi, I am Dr. Atul Kumar Nimawat MS ENT
It seems you have a painful swelling behind the left ear that increases on chewing or mouth opening — most likely due to infected lymph node, parotid inflammation, or early abscess formation.
Next Steps
Avoid hard food, apply warm compresses, and take adequate hydration.
Health Tips
Visit nearby ENT hospital for examination and treatment according to examination finding.
