Outer ear pain?

2018-09-10 18:10:01
Ear pain, 1 mo, L side. Feels like cartilage but not sore to touch. Put alcohol in last PM & it brought me to my knees with pain. No fever. I feel like my skin is hot, but temp is 97.1 (WNL for me). No drainage, redness or swelling. Only thing that alleviates the pain is if I pull on it a bit. Anti-inflammatory doesn't help.

There isn't sufficient information to reach a specific diagnosis. I would advise you to meet a ENT so that you can be examined and undergo the necessary investigations to find the underlying cause of the problem and have it treated accordingly. If the problems persists or worsens visit the ENT at the earliest.
