My neighbor has an ear infection. Extremely red outside the ear but not on lobes. Looks (with naked eye) extremely red and inflamed inside the ear as well. She says she feels like her head is going to explode.

Pulmonologist 's  Response
Hello,

This is an infection of external ear and oven the middle ear per continuity. She should absolutely go to see her doctor because she needs antibiotics injections. Some blood tests probably are needed also.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
