If the swelling is severe, you have two options: accept the coming growth of your cauliflower ear or talk to a doctor right away to have it drained. If you wait too long, the cartilage will start to grow and the disfigurement will not be reversible. If you feel a very slight swelling with a bit of soreness, you can wear headgear until the tenderness subsides. You may be left with a small nugget of cauliflower ear in this case, but this type of cauliflower is generally less noticeable than the golf ball growth the can result from a larger bout of swelling.
