Swollen inner ear...?!


Question:

Swollen inner ear...?

My right ear is swollen up around the ear canal, it feels a tiny bit hot and i can feel that it's swollen. It's not sore, the hearing in it is slightly muffled, and a few days ago I had a heavy blow to that side of my head just above my ear.

Is it swollen because of the blow? I would make a doc's app but I can't get time off work till next week and I'm a tad worried about it.

Thanks!


Answers:

It's probably the swelling that is making your hearing muffled.
It's good that it's not sore.
If it doesn't settle down see the Dr or the nurse at your surgery.
warning signs might be any bleeding from your ear,excessive bruising or pain.
I dare say if you were very worried about it you would make time to see a Dr
