What Treatment Should I Take For Blood And Pus Filled Swollen Earlobe With Fever ?

Hi. I have swollen earlobe filled with blood and pus . And my earlobe is painful when I put pressure on it. It has been there for more than two weeks. And I have been consistently having fever which I don t realize is caused by the infected earlobe. But I managed to realize that my fever is due to the infected ear lobe and I am taking antibiotics now. My question are: a) can it be dangerous for leaving it for two weeks? b) Is the infection might have infected other part of of my ear in these two weeks? Thank you.
