Infants scratching their ears may be related to abnormal Eustachian tube function, eczema in the external auditory canal and other reasons to relieve ear discomfort by scratching the ears.
1. Abnormal Eustachian tube function: If the Eustachian tube function of infants is not good, it may lead to blockage of the Eustachian tube, nasal passage, etc., which may easily cause acute otitis media, ear pain, tinnitus, hearing loss, etc., resulting in infants scratching their ears.
2. Eczema of the external auditory canal: If the baby suffers from eczema of the external auditory canal, there may be pimples, itchy skin, redness, etc., which may ooze out yellow liquid, and the baby will scratch his ears. This can be treated with medications such as Denard cream, glycerite lotion, and zinc oxide paste on the advice of a doctor.
There may be other reasons for infants scratching their ears, so it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and then give targeted treatment or therapy.
