See a doctor: This can vary from a very mild infection to severe disease such as relapsing polychondritis. If you have a pricing or injury this could also be the cause. Sorry I can't give you an answer. Your best bet is to see your doctor or if they can't find an answer an ENT doctor. Good luck to you.

Do you have: An earring?? If so it is probably becoming infected. If not you just might have slept on it funny. If it is not hot and red just watch it. You might try some ice to see if that makes it feel better!
