The Dr said it's obviously an allergic reaction to something - likely a bite or a sting. He prescribed a steroid and antibiotic cream. We got that and put it on last night before bed, along with giving him another dose of benadryl.
It's much improved this morning - evidenced more than anything by Isaac saying first thing "My ear feels better today!".
It's much less inflamed and swollen. Still doesn't look totally normal, but it's definitely an improvement over yesterday! You can see spots where the little blood vessels even burst from the swelling!
I'm continuing the benadryl through today and probably will use the cream twice a day until it really looks normal color again. At this rate that will only be the weekend anyways.
At any rate, he's feeling better and that's the most important thing.
And tomorrow we're off to the fair! Many pictures to come, I'm sure.
