Abstract:
Answer: Embedded ear ring
The patient was started on oral antibiotics
and an analgesic. Her condition improved
with treatment, with reduction of oedema and
pain. The hard mass inside the earlobe, which
was the gold ear ring, was palpable. The ear
ring was removed under local anaesthesia
and the wound healed well upon follow-up in
the clinic.
