"My son got bitten by an insect on the ear last night. It has been swelling since this morning, what can I do to help him?"

For insect bites on the ear that are causing swelling, you can help by giving over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream, applying ice packs every 2 hours, and giving Benadryl as needed. If the swelling does not improve or if other symptoms develop, seek medical advice promptly.
