Thank you all so much! EVERY time I drink a couple of ounces of wine (35 & 36 yo sons) would say "You've been drinking!! I am mad! I just got home from work and had a half cup of wine!! Are you kidding? My right ear is beet red, so they assume something is wrong and mom MUST BE PLOWED because my (right) ear is red. WHY is my (ONLY) right ear purple red? PLEASE Help. Thank you for trying.
about 6 months ago i suddenly felt my right ear get hot and it was burning red. This now happens every few weeks with no warning, its always my right ear. Everytime it has happened is when i have had lack of sleep. The rest of my body can usually be cold. if I have a drink of alcohol especially after a night with very little sleep and when i'm run down about 5 minutes after my first drink i can feel my ear starting to burn.
I'm pretty sure that this has to do with poor circulation. The right ear would be because of the way the blood circulates round your body. When tired your body is over- exerting itself and is probably dehydrated. Increased blood pressure during this causes blood not to flow so easily.
i know someone who gets red ears that are hot when he is tired, but this is regularly...so i think its nothing to worry about its just becuase hot and tired.
I think the sudden onset of one burning red hot ear is a warning sign from your body that somethings wrong. Usually my ear goes away with drinking lots of water and titling my headin the opposite direction. I also find the need to crack my neck and find that massaging the surrounding area usually makes it pass in short time.
