You seem to be having pre auricular lymph node enlargement which usually occurs secondary to infections of the ear or skin. Usually it will resolve with a course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs. Of swelling persists then you may need to undergo fine needle aspiration cytology
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
