Suggest Remedies For Redness And Swelling In The Tragus
My son's tragus is red and swollen and he says it hurts. Yesterday he complained of severe ear pain for short durations of time. He has tubes and I looked inside with orthoscope. There is wax around the tube but not blocking it. There was some redness in the ear canal but no drainage. Other ear is fine.
