<s>[INST]hi, my baby has a very bright red and swollen pinna (just where the ear meets the cheekbone) but it is very red but perfectly fine and normal on the cheekbone / face, just the ear is very red. im pretty sure she hasnt fallen or knocked it anywhere. this is present only on her left ear, however i noticed in the last two days she has been pulling her right ear quite a bit and there was some smelly wax/discharge from that ear. i was going to get this checked out tomorrow but then this morning noticed her red left ear. could they be related and what could cause this? many thanks[/INST]Hi... by what you say I feel that this could be an allergic reaction of Penna or local evolving cellulitis. If the baby has got fever then and the redness and rash is spreading fast, then I suggest you take the child to the Emergency Room immediately. Skin conditions are always best diagnosed and treated after seeing them directly. I suggest you upload some pictures on this forum and get back to me so that I can guide you better. Regards - </s>
