I've got a 10 year old active 'Aussie' daughter who has developed this hot ear business. One side only. I notice a few swimmers have this also? was wondering if it was the latex swimming cap? or.... our bloody cat 'bob' that is slung over her shoulder on regular occasion. :-)
Ha-ha! From one Aussie to another I just have to say that I think that "Bob" is a bloody awesome name for a cat! ha ha! Lovin' it! But yeah, don't know about latex caps, but I did a LOT of Asthma swim classes as a kid,and yes, with latex caps! But maybe it's something in the chlorine? Or Tommy's wee that I SAID I didn't want to swim in!(ha ha!) Then again, that doesn't explain the kids that get it too young to swim? Maybe the natural fluid in the ear drums have something to do with it? Has your little girl had grommets or anything? For the record though, I am a 31 year old with ADHD. I think the connection between that is the heat thing. As a kid I could hardly ever sit still unless I was sleeping or zoned out the window.I hated being yelled at all the time as if it was my fault or something I could control. (no underlying anger issues there ha ha!) I was often restless and complained of "Itchy Blood" or my "veins/blood feeling hot" and for my early years I remember my Mum trying SO hard to get me to wear shoes, but I just couldn't/wouldn't!! And SOCKS!! Are you kidding? N-E-V-E-R! The compromise was sandles. The good ole brown ones lol! Summer-Autumn-Winter-Spring. These days my feet can be ice cold at bed time, but during the day, I notice my feet are hot when my ears are? I don't have sweaty feet, just bloody HOT! I had actually just put it down to breathing difficulty. But who knows? When it's summer tho, no problemo with ears! So I guess probably lacking vitamin D or just miss the summer ha! This is the most hilariously random thing to have, but not so funny really. I double checked with my only other ADHD friend, and she also gets the Red ear thing. Another weird thing is that I also used to get cold sores. But someone told me that if you feel that tingling feeling u get when ones about to come up? Just put ice on it until it goes numb. Sure as ......something very very SURE! (lol!) they don't come up! So I dunno if theres any relation there. But its another "Hot blooded" thing I guess. Also as a kid (OMG I WAS healthy sometimes I SWARE!) I burst both my ear drums. OUCHIE FOR THAT!!!!!!! Ever since I also get the heart beat in my ear thing occasionally that some of the other posts have mentioned. They often feel blocked too, so I find myself popping my ears by blowing out my nose without holding it.(Expert! look Mum no hands! :) )It's not normal, but neither is them going quiet/blocked when I sniff in on occasion. Or having burning hot red ears like a cartoon frickin character, or itchy blood or ANYTHING ABOUT ME REALLY ha ha! I dont know if any of this is helpful to anyone elses reading and research, but I definitely think that we are the ADHD types. The hot blooded types. I wonder if thats where the "Hot Headed" saying comes from?
