hi, my baby has a very bright red and swollen pinna (just where the ear meets the cheekbone) but it is very red but perfectly fine and normal on the cheekbone / face, just the ear is very red. im pretty sure she hasnt fallen or knocked it anywhere. this is present only on her left ear, however i noticed in the last two days she has been pulling her right ear quite a bit and there was some smelly wax/discharge from that ear. i was going to get this checked out tomorrow but then this morning noticed her red left ear. could they be related and what could cause this? many thanks
Hi... by what you say I feel that this could be an allergic reaction of Penna or local evolving cellulitis. If the baby has got fever then and the redness and rash is spreading fast, then I suggest you take the child to the Emergency Room immediately. Skin conditions are always best diagnosed and treated after seeing them directly. I suggest you upload some pictures on this forum and get back to me so that I can guide you better. Regards -
