Patient's question:
The child is 7 years old. They just woke up from a nap and were fine, but after an hour, they said their earlobe was hurting. When the light was turned on, they noticed a bump the size of a thumb had grown. It's only painful but not red. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
The child just took a nap and was doing fine, but after a while, they complained of ear pain. They noticed a large bump on their ear and wondered if it was a swollen, red bump. It is likely caused by an insect bite. It is recommended to use soap water, or 4-9 Skin Itch Cream, or calamine lotion for external application to reduce swelling and relieve pain.The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my 7-year-old child gets a bump in their ear?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
