This seems to be infected pre-auricular sinus. This happens when the dead cell debris clog the opening of the sinus, followed by bacterial invasion. You need to give anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen to reduce the pain and swelling at this moment. In the morning, please do consult your doctor as your child will require antibiotics to control the infection.
