What Causes Sudden Bruise On The Ear Of Child?
Hi my son woke up with a bruise on his ear however the day before I was with him and he never experienced any sign of injury or cried for any pain. Could the bruising be due to the low blood platelet count? Or a spider, insect bite? The doctor we took him to said it was a pull on the ear but no one ever pulled him by the ear

The bruise on the kid's ear must be due to an unknown injury over the ear lobe or an insect bite when he was playing, if he complains of pain u can give plain paracetamol syrup5ml thrice a day after food for 3 days and apply Neosporin skin ointment over the bruise for 5 days
