Have An Infection, Feel Raw And Pussy In The Ears Which Is Spreading. What Should Be Done For This?

Hello. I stretched my gauges on my ears from a 2 to a 0 a few days ago. One of my ears is very raw and pussy. I am pretty sure I have a blowout. Though, I do have a ball under my ear and I m pretty sure it s the infection spreading. What can I do to make it go away? I don t want to take out my earrings.

Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding consequences of blow on ear , as you said you have raw and pussy ear with a boll underneath the ear , this indicates traumatic swelling due to haematoma.

You should do-

1- C.T. Scan of ear .

2- Audiometry.

Beside this ear should be thoroughly examined by an ENT specialist to access local spread of infection.

Till above formalities are going on you may take-

a- Antibiotic ( preferably broad spectrum)

b- Tab Paracetamol.

I hope this will help you.

Regards.
