How Can Ear Pain With Neck Swelling And Bruising Be Treated?

My 3.5 year old yesterday evening complained of her ear hurting. During night the part below her earlobe on chin/neck is swollen. Today a bit of bruising. We are calling our doctor tomorrow. We are wondering if she hit that part on our trampoline. She has been fine today but when you touch it she freaks out.

Hi... I understand your concern. By what you say this should have been injury related to play and what she is having is a Hematoma underneath the skin which is painful on touch.

I suggest you use Paracetamol in the appropriate dose for pain as of now, before seeing your doctor tomorrow.
