Hello and hope you are doing well.

The swelling and inflammation could be due to an infection, cellulitis, you may need antibiotics to tackle the infection. Please consult your doctor for an evaluation.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Accupuncture worked the best! 90% better after one treatment. I have one more treatment later this week and one next week. Whew, thank goodness that's over. Being unable to hear properly with congested ears was awful.
