What is the reason for a child's itchy ears?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Check if there are rashes around the ears. Rashes can be itchy, which is why the baby likes to scratch and rub.
2. Around 5-6 months, it's teething season. During teething, the baby may become fussy, and their hands instinctively reach towards their ears to scratch. Sometimes, they might also scratch their hair (hehe~ but since your baby is bald, there's no hair to scratch).
3. If it's hot, the baby might feel irritable and scratchy.
4. If you notice earwax in their ears, you can gently clean it out with a cotton swab.
