What Medications Are Suggested For Swelling & Bruise In Ear?
My son who is 4 fell and hit his head behind his right ear. He has a quarter sized bruise that is swelled and a small cut. He said his head doesn t hurt and he feels better. The bruise looks pretty bad! Should there be cause for concern because of its location?

it is post traumatic lesion. I would recommend topical treatment for it. soframycin ointment, and painkillers will do the job. it will take time to heal. if any doubt or hearing problem, an x-ray could be done.
