Apply Ice

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query,

Sorry for the delay in my response.

Apply Ice over the affected part.

Visit a surgeon at the earliest to get the clot removed. Blood clot in the ear pinna can cause permanent contracture and disfigure the ear pinna. Hence, removing sooner is necessary.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
