Patient's question:
The baby is 7 years old and has recently been complaining that their ears are hot and don't want anyone to touch them. It happens in waves, and when they have a fever, they need something cool to hold. It's been bothering me—what could be the reason?Past treatment history and effectiveness:
Visited the pediatric department and was told it was nothing, but it's been bothering me.
What kind of help is needed:
Want to know what's going on.
Doctor's answer:
This is often caused by a slowdown in local blood circulation, commonly due to factors such as external pressure and bites from insects like mosquitoes. Appropriate topical use of cooling oil, or consuming crushed cacti internally, may help, but it does not rule out the possibility of it being caused by herpes zoster in the ear. The above suggestions are for the question "Why does a 7-year-old child have a hot ear and want to hold ice?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
