Frequent swelling behind ear.

2023-03-12 11:43:47
Hello Doctor, I have frequent headache and swelling behind my ears. I feel heatness around ear when i have swelling . I did a MRI and visited nearby ENT, he said nothing to worry and gave medication for migraine and swelling. With medicine my swelling is reducing but it keeps repeating after few days. Sometimes the swelling goes off by its own. I did blood test and my lymphocytes is 43%. Platelets ,WBC count is within limit. Is there any cause of concern? Attaching my mri report.
