Hello my name is billy, I am 21 years old and reside in missouri.A few years ago I started having this weird feeling discomfort in my right ear kind of like pressure but with a drainage feeling to my neck, later on I noticed a small 'gumball' sized lump under my skin that isnt noticable from the outside but I can grab at it and it causes great discomfort at times usually at night or when im in a vehicle. I have not been to the doctor yet as I have no medical insurance I just keep avoiding it because I mean its been there for 2 years plus and it doesnt grow sometimes it doesnt even bother me and sometimes it feels hard to swallow. But at all times I still feel the ear discomfort and a drainage feeling from my ear to my neck all on the right side do you think this could be something I should worry about? Have any of you had the same problem in the past? Please let me know what I should do I would like to get this problem solved as I have a newborn son due anyday now and I dont want any health problems

Well I havent been thru it, but if bothers u then, I would strongly advise u to go to the doctor. Only cuz it dosent bother u at all times means it's normal. Their is a reason why is their and the doctor is going to do test's on u to determine was rong with u. I dont know why u have waited 2 years making that excuse of no health insurance, ur health and well being should be important. I dont think it will cost u alot to go to the doctor, but n-w-way ur health is worth the hole money in the world,dont u think :wink: u should go to the doctor a.S.A.P...Good luck
