Suggest Treatment For Swelling On The Ear Helix

My 2 1/1 year old has come up with an extremely swollen ear helix. It was first just very red and started to swell majorly after that. I took him to the dr this morning and he was percribed Eleuphrat 0.05%. I have applied this 3 times today and there has been no change, if anything it has got a little more swollen. When should I see an improvement. It seems to irritate him slightly, No puss or sign of a bite.

Hello
This sounds like an infection of the helix rather than an allergic situation but give the Eleuphrat another day or two to see if it works.

If it doesn't, he'll need a course of antibiotics
