Patient's question:
My baby is doing well in all aspects of health. He is lively and adorable, studies diligently, and often receives praise from his teachers, which makes me very proud. However, there is one thing that often troubles me—his ears are always hot and red. We don't know the reason for this.What kind of help do you need: What could be the reason for my son's constantly hot and red ears?
Doctor's answer:
Children's ears feeling hot can occur in two situations. The first is after vigorous exercise, when people often feel their ears are hot. This is because when people engage in activity, their heart rate slows down, supplying more blood to the limbs and muscles. After physical activity, the muscles require more blood, but the heart rate cannot immediately slow down, so more blood rushes to the heart. The second situation is when the external temperature is low. When blood vessels contract due to cold, the face becomes pale. If someone then steps into a warmer indoor environment, the blood vessels suddenly expand due to the heat, and the ears may also feel very hot.
