A. Ear scratching and pulling, along with crying, in a 5-month-old baby can be signs of a few different issues: 1. Ear Infection (Otitis Media): This is a common cause of ear pain in babies. If your baby has been fussy, has trouble sleeping, or has had a cold recently, an ear infection might be the cause. Ear infections are often accompanied by fever. 2. Teething: Sometimes babies pull their ears when they are teething because the pain from the gums can radiate to the ear area. Check for swollen gums or signs of a tooth coming through. 3. Ear Wax Buildup: If there's a blockage due to excess ear wax, it could cause discomfort and lead your baby to tug at their ears. 4. General Irritation or Allergies: Dry skin or allergies can sometimes make the ears itchy, causing the baby to scratch and pull at them. What You Can Do: Consult the Pediatrician: Since your baby is crying and pulling their ears, it's important to have a doctor check for an ear infection or any other issues. Ear infections are often treated with antibiotics. Keep Ears Clean: Do not insert anything into the baby's ear canal, but gently clean the outer part of the ear with a soft cloth. Teething Relief: If teething is the issue, using teething toys or gently massaging the gums may provide some relief. Monitor for Fever: If your baby develops a fever (especially above 100.4°F or 38°C), that could indicate an ear infection or other infection. It’s best to see your pediatrician for an evaluation, as ear infections or other causes can be treated effectively once diagnosed.
