How can cauliflower ear be prevented?

Protective headgear and helmets worn during sporting activities can help prevent this condition. Helmets can also protect from serious head injury.

See a doctor (preferably an otolaryngologist or plastic surgeon) for definitive care as soon as possible after the injury.
