Patient's question:
My baby is four and a half months old. Whenever she cries or gets angry, she likes to rub her ears. Sometimes it even bleeds.Medical tests and results: None.
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.
The help I seek: I would like to consult about what could be causing this symptom.
Doctor's answer:
Children often exhibit this behavior again due to eczema. When children cry or get angry, the eczema becomes itchy, causing discomfort, so they rub their ears.1. Apply zinc oxide ointment and moisturizing children's lotion alternately to the eczema on the ears.
2. If the child is breastfed, the mother should temporarily avoid eating fishy foods.
3. Hands that have touched fishy foods should not touch the child's face, not even come into contact with them.
4. The child's clothing must be cotton. If adults want to hold the child, they must wear cotton jackets as well.
