Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some unknown reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. How come the child's ears are itchy?Doctor's answer:
,Check if there are rashes around the ears. Rashes can be itchy, which is why the baby likes to scratch and rub.2,Around 5-6 months, it's teething season. During teething, the baby may become fussy, and they tend to scratch their ears habitually. Sometimes, they might also scratch their hair (heehee~ But since your bald baby has no hair to scratch, it's okay).
3,Hot weather can also make the baby feel irritable and scratchy.
4,If you notice earwax in his ears, you can gently clean it out with a cotton swab.
