A member asked:
My 6 year old son woke up with a swolllen ear lobe and a fever blister on his lip should i be concerned ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If the ear lobe is hot, red and painful, it's infected. See your doctor. The fever blister is likely herpes, which tends to come out when a person is stressed. The stress of having an infection in an ear lobe might have brought on the emergence of the cold sore.
