Patient's question:
I need to think about it. My baby is 12 months old and she often scratches her ears, sometimes even scratching them raw. What could be the reason and is there any solution? Thank you. She has not been treated before, and I want to know why her ears are itchy and how to treat it or if there is any way to make it stop itching.Doctor's answer:
A one-year-old baby may not yet be able to express their thoughts and feelings, so parents need to pay special attention to carefully observing their baby's behavior and actions. If the baby frequently scratches their ears, check to see if there are any red rashes or other issues near the ears, as well as whether there is any foreign object causing discomfort inside the ear. It is recommended that parents carefully observe the area around the baby's ears, especially checking if there is any discharge or other substances inside the ear. If any issues are found, seek treatment as soon as possible. Pay attention to keeping the baby's ears clean, especially when bathing or washing their face, to prevent water from entering the ears.The above advice is for the question, "I have a 12-month-old baby who often scratches their ears, sometimes even to the point of breaking the skin. What should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
