I have suffered from the Hot Ear Syndrome since I first had an allergic reaction to a zinc suppliment for which my whole body turned hot and red. The truth of the matter is that "hot ear" IS NOT connected to ADHD because I do not have ADHD. I am an O+ blood type and the temperature has changed from hot to cold outside in just a matter of a couple of days. However, I have been told by several doctors that "hot" ears is a sign of rising blood pressure. I have also been told that since I have a reaction to medium to high amounts of zinc, the hot ear could be attributed to something that I may have eaten that contained zinc (i.e. salads, salad dressings). I have been told by a doctor that any zinc I take into my body is absorbed into the blood stream. If I happened to take in too much zinc, then I get the hot ear. More or less like a warning. After about an hour, the heat and redness goes away and everything goes back to normal.
This is the explaination I have been given by my family physician, allergists, and E.N.T. doctors. I hope this will shed some light on the issue.
