Suggest A Solution For Swollen Ear Lobe

My ear lobe is really swollen and i m not sure what to do. it has happened before (several months ago) and when I squeezed it, normally it would release bloody pus. This time when I did it nothing came out but it felt as though something dislodged inside. My ear lobe is hot to the touch. Any suggestions how I should take care of it?

General & Family Physician, Dr. ABDUL HAMID MAVLI's Response

Hi..
I have gone through your question and express your concern. If I would have been your treating doctor, I would have advised you to get Random Blood Sugar level to rule out diabetes as repeated infection of ear lobe could be due to diabetes. If it comes normal in range then I I would have recommended to start antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs such as Amoxycillin +Clavulunic acid and brufen evident by discharge of pus and hot pinna.
I strongly suggest you to consult your doctor and get Complete Blood Count,RBS,Fasting Blood Sugar level done.
Regards
