"Most people have one bigger ear."
"Bigger like this?"
My first thought was "bug bite" but I can't find one. (Okay, that's a lie. My first thought was "Oh crap! What's wrong with her now?" then I calmed down and thought "bug bite")
Our whole JRA adventure started with a nasty swollen ear and bad infection. (Malignant Otitis Externa. We think. There's no way to be 100% that this is what started it all. That's my "I'm not a doctor" disclaimer.)
Crap.
What's wrong now? He brother has been running a fever for days. Is this a viral infection looking for a place to happen? Is there a bug bite I missed? Can a kid get arthritis in her ear? Is Batman going to be able to save Gotham from the Riddler?
Stay tuned. Same Bat time, same Bat channel.
*****Update: it was bug bites. Chiggers. It turns out that with her wonky immune system, she just reacts more ferociously to everything.....including bugs.
I hate being Paranoia Mom.

Prayers. That can't be fun. :(
Oh, I am so freaking sorry. Sigh.
Oh no, that poor thing. Jeez. Kid can't catch a break. Prayers for sure.
OH MY GOSH! I think I know what that is! Swimmer's ear! My son had the exact same thing - only his hung over on the top. Get some antibiotic drops from your ped. I'll bet money that's it.
Oh honey... prayers...
my son has gotten the same thing 3 summers in a row. most of the time he gets it twice. for no apparent reason his ear swells and swells and it's hot and it bothers him... 3 days later it's fine. i tried benadryl and nothing doing. 3 days. i hope it's the same thing!
