Hi,

Polychondritis - ears is usually associated with inflammation of other cartilages in the body. Causes is still not certainly known but to reduce inflammation Steriod like prednisolon is a good choice. However you need to take under strict obervation by physcian only.

Further fibromyalgia may adds to your problem. You might be suffering from autoimmune disease.

Advise: have a proper diagnosis by and immunologists and remain under care of him.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
