4am Diagnosis

So I woke up at 3:55am this morning and could not go back to be for the life of me!!!  I tried and tried, but my ear was hurting so badly.  I have yet to see the antibiotics kick in.  Since I couldn't catch any z's I decided to research my symptoms.  My findings were as follows:

• My Parotid gland is swollen
• My ear hurts and itches
• Other glands surrounding my ear are inflamed 

What does this all equal?  Otitis externa?  Check wikipedia...

Otitis externa ("swimmer's ear") is an inflammation of the outer ear and ear canal. Along with otitis media, external otitis is one of the two human conditions commonly called "earache". It also occurs in many other species. Inflammation of the skin of the ear canal is the essence of this disorder. The inflammation can be secondary to dermatitis (eczema) only, with no microbial infection, or it can be caused by active bacterial or fungal infection. In either case, but more often with infection, the ear canal skin swells and may become painful and/or tender to touch.
