My son woke up with a triple sized swollen ear this morning, what can i do to bring the swelling down? should i rather get it checked out?

Bug bite ?: These are often localized reactions to a bug bite. However, there is a possibility these can become infected. I wouldn't go to an ER but if his doc could see him it would be a reasonable thing to check out.
