What Could The Red Bump Near Ear Be?
My 8 year old son was playing a game outside and was struck in the head when someone through a metal ring. He has a red bump above his left ear and immediately complained that his ear hurt, felt like water in it. It has been a couple of hours and he is feeling a little better but still says his ear feels funny. Pupils look fine. What could the ear problem be?

hi,
if the ear is swollen, and if there is fluid collection it has to be drained immediately or else ear cartilage will go for necrosis, which is a severe complication, so please consult an ent specialist as soon as possible to drain the collection, take care.
