Depends: Did the injury involve a tear of the ear lobe or a bruise/contusion? If so, this needs to bee seen as a contusion/hematoma will likely need to be drained so that the cartilage in the ear is not destroyed and a laceration needs obvious repair. If you just has some tenderness and no hematoma or laceration, watch and if worsens, seek medical care.
