Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
First : The tragus is inflamed and you will need to take an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines under the care of an ENT Surgeon preferably.
Second :: Reduced hearing on cold - the antibiotics and the anti-inflammatory medicines taken for tragus infection will help for this too.
You can have this for 1 to 3 weeks .
