Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Ear

The side of my neck (left side) just under my ear feels swollen and hurts when I rub over it or even lay on it. This happened a few weeks ago and my family doctor gave me a script which I filled and after taking all the prescribed medicine, it seemed to go away. Now it seems to be back and even a little worse than the last time.
