Bump inside daughter's ear. should she see a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bump: Bump of ear canal either trauma or infection likely. Trauma like from a Q tip or some mechanical irritation of the ear. Infection is usually associated with redness, drainage or decreased hearing. If no symptoms and only swelling probably mild trauma and can be observed. If this would not resolve in a few days then getting checked would be good.
