Hi,

Thanks for your question. It sounds as if your son had a haematoma or bruise on his ear. If there is a significant localized swelling then this may need to be dealt with to avoid damage to the cartilage of the ear. If it is simply a bruise then it should improve with time.

I hope this answers you question.

Best wishes
