Could Swelling In Ears Be Related To Dry Socket?

I am 27 wks pregnant. I rarely wear earrings and decided to a few days ago
I now have swelling on my ear lobe. Its hot and red. There are no appearance of any bug bites. I had a tooth pulled a couple days ago and thought it may have something to do with a dry socket. But I have no pain from the pulled tooth.
