Hello, I feel a ball in front of my tragus (ear) but at the level of my cheek. To the touch it hurts and it swells. Is it serious? What could it be? Thank you for your help!

Hello, it can happen that a ganglion swells in this area when fighting a virus. Avoid touching it to increase the inflammation and pain and monitor the progress. You can take advil for the pain

If the symptoms worsen within 48 hours, you can see a doctor.
