Patient's question:
The baby is three months old. It may be prone to developing eczema around the ears due to excessive hair, leading to sweating. There was a discharge and scab formation. We used Ganpi Phenol Ointment. Recently, the baby has been crying excessively, doesn't sleep well during naps, and constantly needs to be held. We initially thought it was gas or indigestion. Today, we suddenly noticed that the baby's ears, specifically around the earlobe and the back, are slightly swollen and feel hard when touched. Pressing on it seems to cause pain.Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is common for hard lumps to appear behind the ears, which may be caused by swollen sebaceous glands or enlarged lymph nodes. Enlarged lymph nodes are usually indicative of inflammation. In such cases, it is recommended to drink more water, pay attention to rest, avoid harmful impacts, take vitamin C, maintain good hygiene, and identify the underlying cause. The above advice is for the question "My baby is three months old and may have hair-related issues, what should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
