Parotid cancer and neck dissection

I had surgery about 10 months ago. I had my right parotid gland removed and 24 lymph nodes. I have certain things I am dealing with I hoped would get better. Most of my numbness is gone or just a loss of some sensation. I am dealing okay with that. Still get random pain if eat or talk too much. It’s not too bad. But I get fluid in my jaw, neck and shoulder and it’s pretty uncomfortable at times. If it’s bad enough I lose most of my hearing in right ear. Doctor says to massage it. But sometimes it makes things worse. Is there anything I can do or avoid doing that might help? The ear especially makes me off balance and nauseous.
