What Causes Swelling In Ear?

My right ear is swollen on the inner side of the ear skin, no pain internally but the swelling seemed to be accumulating fluid, I had it drained by my ENT but after 4 days it recur again and now my ear is full of fluid, the last extraction was a mix of blood and clear fluid, nu pus.

ENT Specialist,  's  Response
Hello, Thank you for writing HCM.

Swelling of ear can be treated by cleaning the affected region and medication. Whereas there is a 80% chance of recurrence, if ear-care is not taken properly. Apart from medication, precautions are to be taken.

1. Do not allow water to enter you ears (while bathing/ face wash/ AC/ rain)
2. Use a cotton ball/ ear plug to prevent dust/while travelling.
3. Consult a physician/ ENT asap if there is nose running/cold.
4. Avoid cool water/soft drinks.


All the best.
