I have a lump in front of my tragus (ear) but on my cheek. It hurts when touched and it's swelling.

It is possible that the swelling you are feeling is a result of a swollen lymph node due to fighting off a virus. It is best to avoid touching it to prevent further inflammation and pain. You can take Advil for the pain. If the symptoms worsen within 48 hours, it would be advisable to consult a doctor.
