Why does my baby like to pick their ears?

Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Babies may enjoy poking their ears due to localized skin allergies or possibly due to middle ear inflammation. If it is caused by skin allergies, antiallergic treatment, such as loratadine granules, can be administered under a doctor's guidance. If it is caused by otitis media, anti-inflammatory treatment, such as amoxicillin granules, can be given as directed by a physician, and attention should also be paid to local hygiene."
