Hi... Swollen blood vessel in the ear could be a small capillary hemangioma, if it had been there since birth. But sudden appearance of swollen blood vessel anywhere in the body is not normal. I suggest that you consult your kids pediatrician For this. If it is there on the ear drum then it signifies infectious process.
