What Causes Pain In Tragus Area In A Child?
The past couple of week, my 10 year has complained of pain in his tragus. Initially it was his left ear and the area of skin below his tragus, compared to his right side, felt a bit swollen. The swelling went away and he was fine. Now he is complaining that his right tragus is bothering him off and on. After reading a couple different pages on the internet, should I be concerned

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns
Pain in tragus are with swelling is an indication of external infection of ear which need antibiotic after confirmation by ENT surgeon or paediatrician .
I do not think any reason to panic, your baby needs an ENT consultation, till than do not research on net , it will create more confusion.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
