Hi my daughter has swelling at the root of the helix . There was no obvious trauma & she is not complaining. However, it is tender to touch. The ony pertinent past medical history is that she is being treated for a bpretty resistant inner ear infection--now on Bactrim & prednisone taper- Should I be concerned that in some way this is an extension of the inner ear infection?
