My son just asked me to go on-line and find out why his ears turn so red and hot at night....this is very strange to see so many kids with this same affliction. Has anyone talked to a doctorabout this? The one connection with cancer scares me to say the least! My son is 6 years old and just this past month the red ears have become painful
I am stunned to see so many posts! I just got done holding a wet, cool cloth on my 7 year old son's ear. He has had red, hot ears for several years but it has just started to be painful. It comes on in the evening hours during all four seasons. Very strange that there are so many young boys with this problem!
my six year old has this too and we go to the pediatrician soon. I have heard that food allergies can cause this, and I am allergic to wheat and suspect he might be too. It could also be swimmer's ear, which is a bacterial infection. hope you go to the pediatrician and we can both share answers. thanks!
Blair, oddly enough just this afternoon I drank about 4 oz of asparagus puree and right now I am experiencing my left ear very hot and red. I am 45 years old and never to the best of my knowledge experienced this before. Like everyone else I googled it to find out more. I don't even eat asparagus normally but was reading how asparagus has these amazing medicinal properties. My interest and reason for trying it revolved around busting kidney stones. I still have about 10 oz in the refrigerator, boy is it nasty. You may be correct about the food allergies. I have allergies to almost everything outdoors and indoors for that matter. I know I am allergic to tomatoes and suspect allergies to some corn product. Perhaps I'm having a reaction to the asparagus.
Hi Ive had hot ears, back of neck associated with anxiety at random times for a few years. Usually after wine, beer, prawns, salmon, etc. It responds to antihistamine tablets after 40min-1hr. It began to get worse and even though Im a doctor myself I couldnt figure it out. Initially my allergy team thought I had systemic mastocytosis, but it turned out in the end I had an intolerance to Sodium Metabisulfite and suddenly everything made sense. This preservative is in everything and your reaction to it depends on how much you expose yourself-even up to 48hrs later. See these links:
