Hello, I was just wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I have been having lately...I have a very painful bump on my ear, it is between my triangular fossa and helix it is very painful (easpecially if I touch it). I cannot even sleep on my right side at night because of this horrible pain I have been experencing. Anyone have any suggestions?
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history of a lump on the ear, that is painful. This indicates that it is an abscess/cellulitis. I would advise you to consult a Doctor for clinical examination, investigations of blood and give you prescription based treatment comprising an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and refer to the ENT as you may need incision and drainage if the abscess is already formed.
