What Causes Swelling In Ears?

I just gauged my ears, today actually.. I went from a 0 to a 00. i guess it was a big jump. but 0 to a 00 is normal. theres no size in between. My ears are swollen my right is is pretty hard, not as hard as a rock. its still squishy, what can i take to make the swelling go down. i can't take ibprofen cause im allergic, it makes my lip swell. So is there anything else i can take, like asprin, etc. i would love to get this taken care of asap cause im leaving for florida in about 2 days.

Hello,

Since, when you are ears are swelling? Is it both ears? Any rash or redness or scans on ears?

Probably you may be suffering from insect bite reaction or metal allergy in ear piercing or chondritis.

Need ice compression, use antibiotics and pain killers under your doctor guidance. Please consult your ENT specialist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
