Red and swollen outer ear

2016-01-25 10:06:48
Both my ears are red and swollen and I feel a burning sensation.. After searching the Internet I found out that it might be perichondritis. Can homeopathy provide a solution to this? What's the average heal time?

There are two differential diagnoses for your condition - Acute Perichondritis & Relapsing Polychondritis. Hurry up and consult a good ENT Specialist near you before your ear cartilage is destroyed completely and you end up with a Cabbage Ear! Alternate medicine has no solution for both these conditions. Is anybody gives you any promises contrary to the same, just google up images of Cabbage Ear to realise what you are up against.
