Red, swollen, hot ear

2017-10-24 23:26:01
My 8 year old has one ear that is red, a bit swollen, and warm to the touch. The other ear is not affected. He says it is not painful and that it doesn’t feel any different then the other ear. He has no other symptoms at all. I asked if he rubbed his ear, bumped his ear etc etc. He said no.
