Frequent scratching of the ears by infants is usually caused by physiological conditions such as high cerumen accumulation, as well as pathological conditions such as eczema and otitis media.
1. Physiological conditions: If the baby’s ears produce a lot of cerumen, the accumulation of cerumen is high, which may lead to itchy ears, foreign body sensation and other uncomfortable feelings, which will lead to frequent scratching of the baby’s ears.
2. Pathological conditions: if the baby ear eczema can also lead to itchy ears, usually infants will often scratch the ears to relieve itching symptoms; some infants often scratching the ears may be due to otitis media, usually accompanied by running water in the ear, fever, crying and so on.
There may be other reasons for infants to scratch their ears frequently, so it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for a complete examination and treatment with the help of the doctor to identify the cause of the disease.
