i'm new here and I have a question. I
have had horrible pain in my left ear,
down my neck under my left ear, and pain
in the back teeth on the left side. I
have throbbing pain in my left temple and
headaches. In addition to the pain I have
noticed large, pus-filled lumps behind
both ears. These lumps drain periodically
and the smell is strong and pretty bad
(ammonia like); however, the lumps
themselves do not hurt. Has anyone ever
experienced this? Does anyone have any
idea as to what may be going on?

I am just guessing, maybe some sort of
infection. Get yourself to an ent doctor
as soon as possible to see what is going
on.

I went to see an ent who gave me decadron
injection, methyprednisolone dose pack,
and tequin antibiotic. The welling has
gone down a little, but there is still
some swelling that remains and I still
have constant pain. I am also having
night sweats and extreme fatigue and the
lumps behind my ears are exactly the same.
I now have a hard lump on the left side
of the upper palate in my mouth which is
painful. I started on bactrim (4 days no
improvement), the cipro and ciprodex drops
(3 days no improvement) no my current
meds. I just do not know what to do. I
plan to call my ent today to see what can
else can be done - no real diagnosis
given, just meds.
