cauliflower ear?

**gixxerboy1** · 02-26-2007, 07:56 PM

I have what looks to be like cauliflower ear. How could i have gotten it now. I don't wrestle or do any grappling anymore. I just woke up with it on Sunday and it hurts like a bitch.

happens if you slept wrong sometimes. Once you've gotten cauliflower you are usually more suseptible.

I never got it from grappling but once in an MMA fight the other guy took my back and punched straight and flattened my ear down, after the fight i looked at the mirror and it was so swollen!! I didnt want cauliflower ear so i went to the doctor straight away and he gave me an anti-biotic Keflex for a week 500mg every 6 hours (ruins your sleeping times) and it went in a week.
I was surprized i didnt think it would go down after swelling that much but its back to normal like nothing happened.

Another option would be to drain it if there is a buble.

you where a regional champ once that is far from best of all time at any weight class.

To the poster if you slept on your ear wrong and have had it before then that could have caused it(like zimmy said) or you could have bumped it and not even realized it. I would drain it becouse I had surgery done on my cauliflower ear and it was very painful.

you can get it drained by leeches. when i used to play rugby they used to have them. i was loose head so i could've only got it on one side.

Draining dosnt get all of the blood and fluid out. What doesnt come out dries hard and then you get real cauliflower that never goes away. My ears are all f***d up from twelve years of wrestling.

Very odd. I stop getting it when I stopped doing MMA

Only if it starts to swell again.

Take some Advil.

If starts again you may need some meds

Only if you want to pay the Dr. to do exactly what you did. I had to go almost every other day for awhile, then I decieded to do it myself. Much cheaper.
