Laura -
We had the same thing happen shortly after we moved here. It was just days before the insurance for dh's job kicked in, and we were loathe to take him to a doc when he's got one for a father! We did the bendryl, and it was 1/2 the size the next day. In our case you could actually see it was an insect bite (once it was at Alfred E Neumann size - we initially assumed it was slept on funny too).
I hope you have the same luck. I'll try to find a picture to post of Jacob's ear. The very same day Quinn took a huge spill on the driveway and literally had an egg sized lump on his forehead. I kept saying to dh "If we had insurance would we be taking them to the hospital?" He insisted we wouldn't, but I'm not so sure.
