Suggest A Remedy For Swelling In Ear
This morning I noticed my son's ear a bit swollen and it appears it's an insect bite. Now it's pretty big and red and we can see where the bite is. I'm putting hydrocortisone on it now, the last time it happened the swelling went down after a day or two. Should I contact his doctor about this?

Hi, thanks for the query.
If I were your son treating doctor, I would advice him Antibiotic + steroid ointment , cold compression , Antihistaminics & antiinflammatory syp .
Since you are not getting relief with hydrocortisone , so please consult your son doctor.
Hope above information helpful to you , take care.
