Systematic swelling behind the ear

2018-04-18 15:37:05
I am 23yrs old and I have a swelling behind my right ear for 2yrs I think.i have irritation sometime like itching,pain,but these irritation will not last so much time.It only last 5to10 seconds.I consulted a ENT doctor,he told me nothing to worry it's a systematic swelling.If the swelling increases then I have to consult again and he gave me 2 tablets .One is for swelling and one is for irritation.Now I feel that the swelling is not increasing it's still the same.but irritation​ is still there.
