I don't know if I spelled it correctly or not. Back in March of this year, I had a fever and felt flu-like symptoms. My head just behind my ears were swollen and red. I went to a 24 hour emergency care center and the Dr. there diagonsed me to have and infection of the hair folical called folliculious... He treated me with 500mg of cephallaxin. So took those for 4Xs a day for ten days.
So, now it is June and about the end of May I had a small blot clot or something I was used to getting, from wearing earrings. I would squeeze them and blood would come out and be gone away. Although this time I tried to squeeze it and seemed like it moved into harder ear tissue that protects your eardrum. Within a course of 8 hours that ear grew very large and swollen to the extent that was creating numbness in my cheek and jaw bones. I made this ball located behind my ear drain, it started to drain fluids into my throat. I was on antibiotics for that as well. For ten days, same antibiotic.
Since, I am finished taking the antibiotics, I did feel much better, but now I feel as though the bumps behind both ears are back. Is this partically sinus infection. I just want it to go away. I put pressure on these bumps and feel as though I want to swallow when I do, I feel mucous.
Please help... do I need to go back to the Dr. or is this something that will go away soon.
