Hello Doctor, Today I found a painful lump under my ear, at the end of jaw line. When I try feeling it with my hand, it feels like the size of a pea and is quiet tender. I searched on the internet and found out that Tonsillar is located in that area. There is also one lump in my ear lobe. Please tell me if it serious?
