hi sir, I wanted to ask. my baby now a days scratches his ears very frequently. he also is seen putting his fingers in his ears. I do not see any ear secretions. his ears are dry. I had been to a pediatrician and he has recommended using candid ear drops in case there is an infection. what are the possibile reasons for scratchy ears in a baby?

A. Ear pulling or tugging can also sometimes be a sign of a middle ear infection or external ear infection. Teething is often blamed for ear pulling, but it isn't clear whether there's a link between teething and pulling.
