Hi, My five year old daughter has been complaining for two days that her tragus is sore and tender. There is no redness, and now her whole outer ear is tender to touch. Two days ago she was swimmimg in really rough waves in a lake. She is very healthy other wise and no allergies.

Hello
It seems from the history that your daughter is having core and tender targus.
This can be because of hordeolum affecting the external auditory meatus.
The treatment of the condition is by oral antiinflammatory drugs and antibiotic ear drops.
Since this involves prescription I advice you to consult ENT doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
