Has your child's outer ear swollen up with an inner ear infection?

My middle son has a bad ear infection and was seen by the Dr. Yesterday. He's been on antibiotics for 24 hours but I swear his ear is swelling on the outside..it's sticking out much farther than the other!! Have you ever seen an ear infection swell the outer ear??

Answer:
Yes and she went to the doctor and he gave her medicane. Keep him out of the water. Even the shower dont get hos ear wet at all.
Hope He Gets Better
Wow, I've never had that myself, nor really seen it. I took a class in communication science and disorders last semester that spent a great deal of time on audiology and pathologies of the ear and they didn't mention anything like this with an inner ear infection. Perhaps it's something like otitis externa (swimmer's ear) that's causing swelling in the ear canal and making it appear that way?

If it's noticeable, call the doctor and ask him about it, for sure.
