Hello,

The swelling behind the ear appears to be an enlarged gland.Difficulty in breathing for about 6 weeks suggest chronic respiratory infection.

I personally recommand that you should visit a Doctor & get following investigations done

X-ray chest

Blood examination

& if possible an ultra sound scan of abdomen.

If you delay at this stage symptoms might aggrawate. So don't ignore the situation.
