Get checked: Sounds like the ear was sore to begin with and then manipulating it did not help. I would have the ear seen.

The upper part (near my cartilage) of my ear is swollen, tender to touch and warm. I have had previous ear infections. But this is definitely not an ear infection. I have tried putting a heating pad and an ice pack on it.
