My son has had this since he was an infant, he is now 6 1/2. By watching him all these years we have deduced that when he is tired his ear/ears get red and hot. It doesn't seem to bother him. He had had a lot of ear infections though not one for at least 1 1/2 years.
It is very obvious with him though that it is when he is tired. Interesting correlation with the ADHD that perhaps kids that aren't getting enough sleep are more apt to be labeled with ADHD thus the correlation? Or simply that those kids are more active so more tired, thus showing a red ear more often?
