How long is the period when a cauliflower ear can be drained so that it looks normal before it hardens? no real swelling just a red mark and soreness.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No such period: It should be evaluated asap. Fluid on the ear could be causing pressure on the cartilage that could lead to permanent structural ear damage. Don't waste time, go to see your pcp.
