Woke up and my pinna on my left side of my ear is swollen and hurts. what could be causing that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear pinna pain/sleep: If you slept wrong on the pinna it could cause the problem too, but make sure you do not have an insect bite on it. Sometimes and infected insect bite can cause pain as well and it is treatable. Try icing it and if the redness and pain persist you should have it checked out.
