Hi, i do care for your concern.
Your history suggest more of ear lobe infection.
If i were your treating doctor then i would advise.
To start on antibiotics such as cefexime along with antacids for 5 days. Which would definitely help.
Also cleaning of wound with antiseptic solution will add to the help.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have more questions i would like to help.
Thank you.
