Question
The 7-year-old baby has been saying that their ear feels hot recently, and they won’t let anyone touch it. It’s intermittent, and they need to apply cool items to relieve the discomfort. What could be the cause? I have taken them to see a doctor, but the condition has not improved, and I would like to know the reason.
Answer
This is often due to a slowing down of regional blood circulation, common causes include external pressure, mosquito bites, etc. It is suggested to apply some cooling oil externally or take in the powder of a cactus. However, it is also possible that it is caused by an ear herpes zoster.
