If you think that you’re vision may be in peril, then you ought to go to ER.

I would suspect that lump got aggravated by everyone poking on it. Just enjoy today and keep your ENT appointment tomorrow.

This is in no way enough detail. Is the mass near the ear smaller or is that side of your face swollen making it not protrude as much. "Eye swollen" means eye puffy, eye swollen partially closed, eye swollen closed? Pain? Pain upon palpation? Is the swollen area soft or hard?

If the eye is involved and it's worse than yesterday, I would probably go to ER. But they probably won't do shite since you are going to ENT tomorrow.
