Disinfect with alcohol : If the ear hole has symptoms of redness and swelling, first dip a cotton swab in medical alcohol, and then slowly apply it around the ear hole to relieve the redness and swelling. Be careful not to put the used cotton swab back into the alcohol to prevent bacteria from entering the alcohol. Do this three times a day.

2. Apply ointment : Erythromycin ointment or compound polymyxin B ointment has a good anti-inflammatory and detumescent effect. Dip a cotton swab in erythromycin ointment or compound polymyxin B ointment and rub it around the ear. Pay attention to rub both sides of the ear, and rub it in the morning and evening.
