Soreness at the lower side of the ear near the cheek can be caused by inflammation of lymph nodes, mumps and other factors.
1. Inflammation of lymph nodes: Local bacterial or viral infections may cause lymph node inflammation, or occasionally caused by tuberculosis or tumors, which can lead to soreness when pressed on the lower side of the ear near the cheek.
2. Mumps: Bacterial or viral infection of the parotid gland can cause mumps, the virus invades the human body through the mouth and nose, and can spread to the parotid gland through the blood pathway, and when pressed, the local area can be sore and uncomfortable feeling.
There may be other reasons why the parotid gland is sore when pressed under the ear, so it is recommended that the patient consult a doctor to find out the cause of the disease, and under the guidance of a professional doctor to carry out active treatment, so as to avoid delays in the condition.
