Why does my baby keep rubbing his ears when they are itchy?

If your baby often rubs his ears, it is very likely that he does so because his ears are itchy, so parents must pay more attention to whether their children's behavior is abnormal. It is normal for babies to have itchy ears. There are many reasons for itchy ears, such as otitis media, excessive earwax, etc. Parents should do a good job of checking.

The baby's ears may be itchy due to eating overheated food. Eczema or inflammation in the ears may also cause itchy ears. It is recommended that you first rule out overheating of the child and choose to eat in a place with a relatively low temperature. If the child still has ear problems and has crying problems, then you should consider whether it is a serious problem.

If a baby's ears are itchy, it may be due to otitis media. Many children suffer from otitis media repeatedly and do not receive timely treatment. This can cause hearing impairment and even delayed language development and poor learning ability. The early symptoms of otitis media are itchy ears, and the baby cannot help scratching his ears to relieve the discomfort. Otitis media is not like a cold or fever, which can be seen immediately. In addition, the baby is still young and cannot express himself, so parents should observe him in time.

If a baby's ears are itchy, it may be because the instruments used to clean the ears are not clean. It is best to use disposable cotton swabs when cleaning the ears. Do not use ear spoons instead. These hard objects can easily injure the external auditory canal and cause acute external otitis. If the ears are always itchy, you can go to the hospital for an endoscopic examination to prevent inflammatory lesions.

2. Even if there is earwax in the ear, it doesn’t matter, because the earwax will fall off by itself after a period of time.

3. If cleaning is really necessary, it is generally advisable to clean your ears once every half a month, and use disposable cotton swabs to prevent injury to the ear canal.
