When to Seek Medical Help
In most cases, a mild infection of the ear may improve on its own after a few days. If you have a swollen ear canal with minimal pain and no other signs, it is better to wait several days. However, make sure to seek medical support from your healthcare provider when:
– A fever occurs and persists
– The swelling and pain do not subside after a few days
– Ear pain or discomfort worsens over time
– You have some hearing issues
– Discharge appears from the ear [8]
