Ear Pain Near Tragus?

[PeteJ]

If you have red inflamed ear canals that are causing you pain then you most likely have an outer ear infection.

This can be caused a small scratch, or area of broken skin within your ear canal, and then bacteria can get in and cause an infection. If you've been using earplugs a lot this could be a reason why. Or if you have tried to get wax out with your finger or something along those lines, that can be another reason.

Sometimes you can just be unlucky. Something as simple as water getting into your ear can cause it.

Most outer ear infections heal without intervention, but if it's persistent you'll need antibiotics.

That is what the dr concluded last time, a couple of weeks ago. Uh, I don't want antibiotics.
Isn't that bad for t and it's not a guarantee to work anyway?

I am trying to avoid antibiotics, otc prescriptions and other pharmaceutical drugs for that reason.

Your mind runs away with all crazy thoughts when you feel something in or around your ears you haven't felt before haha I would of probably asked as well mate I started a thread ages ago because I thought my central heating was making my ears feel worse listen to your girlfriend next time

I also have a small but noticable spike so i was extra anxious. But yeah, as soon as there is something in or around my ears i go into full panic mode. Should really listen more often to her advice
