What to do if there is a pimple in the ear

Yesterday when I got up to go to the bathroom, I saw that the light in my child's room was still on, so I told him to go to bed early. The child didn't say anything, but got up very early again the next morning and wandered around in the yard. I asked him what was wrong. He said that he had been feeling pain since last night and he kept feeling like there was something inside his ear. I took a look and saw a red lump inside his ear. What's going on? Is it serious?

Hello! If your child has otitis externa, the red bump may be inflammatory granulation or polyp. If there is no history of ear damage, it may be a hemangioma. If you have a cold in the past two days, it may be herpes simplex virus. It is also possible that eating spicy food causes inflammation in the body, leading to folliculitis in the ears or tissues around the ears, resulting in swelling and pain. At the same time, it is accompanied by symptoms of discomfort such as getting angry. If it is inflammation, the treatment mainly uses antibiotics to control inflammation. The acne can be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide and then applied externally with antibiotic ointments, such as neomycin ointment. Temporarily eat a light diet, drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy, greasy or heavy foods. Be careful not to squeeze pimples with your hands, as this can cause them to get bigger and more infected.

It is normal for most people to experience this phenomenon, and it will improve automatically within a week without any treatment.

Ask your child if he or she has been feeling a little irritated recently. If not, please take him or her to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid tinnitus or any sequelae. If you are satisfied with my analysis, please adopt it in time. I wish your child a speedy recovery!
