What Causes Inflammation Of The Right Tragus Without Any Ear Piercings?
hi, I am 17 years old and my right tragus is inflamed. It is almost inside my ear and every time I touch it, it hurts and I know it is swollen because my mom looked at it. I do not wear piercings. I have never had my ears pierced so it has to be something else... please help??

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it could be inflammatory condition due to boil, infection and it needs to be ruled out till then pain can be managed with Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day, if this is proves infection then may needs antibiotic and best drug would be Tab Amoxicillin 500 mg three times in day, it may be abscess formation too, if the pain condition remains as it is then it is better to see the doctor hope this information helps.
