I have had this ear problem(?)for a few years now, and my son age 11 also experiences it occasionally; a redness and hotness to it that's somewhat uncomfortable; usually one at a time. And I try to link it with lake of sleep or tiredness. Is it a symptom of high blood pressure? Help needed.

I ALSO GET ONE HOT EAR AND I'VE NOTICED A CORRELATION WITH LACK OF SLEEP. SOMETIMES MY LEFT AND SOMETIMES MY RIGHT EAR.

hi mine are bright red & burning right now, the right more so...happens almost every day, most times the eveings. I do have high blood pressure, I just checked mine and it was perfect 120/74...I also get the headaches, but I dont have one today. I do however have a moderate sized bulging disc at C4-5 in my neck...maybe we all should compare meds? just a thought? Deb

My son Alex - who is 6 and mildly autistic suffers from red ears as well. The majority of his issues pertaining to the autism are food related. Without a doubt, it stems from a food allergy. 2 hours after injesting foods with high phenolic contents, his ear or ears turn bright red and are hot. After an hour or so it passes.
Try the IgG 96 panel food allery testing done by Great Plains Laboratories cost - $200. If you have Horizon blue cross, they should cover it. Good luck!
