Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Soreness In Earlobe

my right earlobe is swollen and kind of hard, i have not gotten a piercing there since i was 10. I am 22 now, when it was not as swollen i thought it may have been a pimple so i tried to pop it. Which made the irritation worse, its been around 2-3 weeks since it started to get swollen.

Hello
Such type ear lobe swelling is due to inflammation and infection .
Due to pop up this inflammation occurs .
When such patient visit I advise my patient to take levofloxacin 10 mg/ kg body weight , once in a day with pantoprazole-d to avoid nausea .
Also take some anti inflammatory drugs like iburpofen 400 mg thrice in day .
Local anti septic wash with povidone will also help .
Mind it this is prescription treatment so consult a doctor .
This is only for 2-3 day and you will get complete relief.
Good luck.
Cold sponging ( massage ) with ICE also provide needed relief.
Good luck.
