What Is The Treatment For Redness And Swelling On Top Of Ear Of A 3 Year Old Child?
Hi,
My 3 year old son all of a sudden after church today. The top of his ear is red and swollen? Gave him some zyrtec and ibuprofen when we got home, its been several hours later and still looks the same. It kinda looks swollen like cauliflower ear. I dont know what to do.

It appears from history that it is either a infection called as extenal otitis or it may b possible that some kind of insect bite might be two reasons of this,as for as management is concerned the treatment given is adequate needs to be given for five days
