Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lump inside your ear. Well there can be many reasons for lump in ear like infection also known as Otis external, cyst, swollen lymph node or hematoma from minor injury. Need not worry. It could be due to sever infection in tooth as well which is leading to facial space infection. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist. Doctor will examine with horoscope and order test like CT scan, MRI or x-ray to confirm diagnosis and rule out other causes. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics (amoxicillin) for at least 10 days, remove with the help of suction device or remove it surgically. For now keep your ear Chat Doctor.
