Its in a really odd place. All i can imagine hes done is hes poked his ear with a fork. As if he banged it it would be on the outiside of the ear as well. It seems such a specific place. Do toddlers put things in and around their ear alot? I suffer from anixety and in particular when my son gets hurt of unwell.
Brief Answer:
Relax, this will soon pass away!
Detailed Answer:
HI,
There is nothing to bother about here. This is minor trauma and common with children. They always play with thee ear and I have received many with foreign bodies in the ear. All is well and all will be okay.
I understand caring mothers can easily get stressed by this. However, this is minor and really part of the growing up process.
