What Causes Redness And Swelling In Both Ears?
My 4 year old daughter has red swelling on both ears. I know it s not a spider bite or sunburn. I am perplexed by it because it is getting bigger. It doesn t seem to cause her too much pain or itching. I took her to her ped but he had no clue what it is was and didn t set her up with a referral to a different dr.

a few things that might cause this :
most commonly allergy causes a bilateral ear swelling and redness , it's mostly due to the contact with chemical material like soap , creams , makeup , sunscreen or even a shampoo .
try to limit the use of these chemicals until you decides what is the one that make her allergic .
another possibility is ear piercing if it's recent , can cause bilateral perichondritis.
I hope this was helpful
