itchy ears

[griffalo2]

hello
My ds(5) is constantly poking his ears,he says they are itchy,i cant see any wax or anything.
Does anyone know of a possible cause or had previous experience?

I have got chronic itchy ears and it is due to chronic rhinitis (hay fever) Can't fine out what I'm allergic to and drives me bonkers, also get tickly throat and stuffy nose. I take a daily anti histimine. Must be allergic to work!

Not saying this is DS problem. Get the GP to look, it is very common to get excema in the ears, usually causing redness and weeping. Infection unlikely, but if he's had a recent cold could be a bit mucusy in the tubes leading to the ears which will drain eventually. Could be wax deep in the ear?

yeah last few weeks,got family history of allergys,no sneezin or phleghmy though,dry cough at night,but i put that down to his asthma.
he had infections end of last year,
could it be dust?moved house last october and im still hooverin discusting amounts of dust up

ill give it a go,got some piriton in cupboard,will try before bed though it made him sleepy last time he had it.never heard of itchy ears as a symptom of hayfever or other allergys,thanks hope it works for him

I had the patch test thingy but the only allergy was cats - which I knew already and avoid them! There are so many allergens in the environment it would be a miracle if one obscure tree pollen showed up (tho they test trees pollens and moulds). At least my dog is safe (x) and I can have a horse it i want!! I found cetirazine better than loratidine (odd)

think ill try the piriton for few days if no better ill get doc to have a look.just seems so strange

tried piriton,hasnt helped, hes also started hating getting water inside ears?
