Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
The upper cartilage part of my ear hurts, like there’s a deep part of my ear where it just dips. How do I make it go away?
Answered by Dr. Omar Sowilem
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
This could be perichondritis, a serious condition that requires prompt attention. You should receive broad-spectrum antibiotics and a good analgesic to reduce pain. If left untreated, it could lead to ear deformity.
Thanks
