My baby's ear lobe is swollen
My baby is 11 months old and today after the bath i noticed that his left ear lobe is swollen. It's almost twice the size of the right one. I'm not sure what caused it as he didn't cry as well. And I think he is not feeling any pain even when touched.
Is there anything that needs to be done?
