Since 2 days ago, I've had a very slight on-and-off earache. When it does hurt, it is a very slight pain and lasts a few seconds. Then its painless four about 1-3 hours, sometimes less, sometimes more. Yesterday, I went to the doctor for a neck lump, and he said I had swollen lymph glands and gave me antibiotics. Is the above a problem? Also, is there a lymph gland on the bottom left side of your neck near your shoulder?
