Patient's question:
The baby is 7 years old and has recently been saying that their ears are hot and don't want others to touch them. It comes in waves, and when they have a fever, they need something cool to hold. It's been happening for a while, and I don't know what's wrong.Past treatment history and effectiveness: The pediatrician said it's nothing to worry about.
What kind of help is needed: I want to know what's going on.
Doctor's answer:
This is often caused by a slowdown in local blood circulation, commonly due to factors such as external pressure and bites from insects like mosquitoes. You can apply some cooling oil externally and consume crushed cacti internally, but it does not rule out the possibility of it being caused by herpes zoster in the ear. The above suggestions are for the question "Why does a 7-year-old child have a hot ear and want to hold ice?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
