my right earlobe is swollen and kind of hard, i have not gotten a piercing there since i was 10. I am 22 now, when it was not as swollen i thought it may have been a pimple so i tried to pop it. Which made the irritation worse, its been around 2-3 weeks since it started to get swollen.
Hellish type ear lobe swelling is due to inflammation and infection. Due to pop up this inflammation occurs. When such patient visit I advise my patient to take levofloxacin 10 mg/ kg body weight, once in a day with pantoprazole-d to avoid nausea. Also take some anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Local antiseptic wash with provide will also help. Mind it this is prescription treatment so consult a doctor. This is only for 2-3 day, and you will get complete relief. Good luck. Cold sponging (massage) with ICE also provide needed relief. Good luck.
