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!
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.
