13 month old touching ear often

[vgahdmi123]

He is doing it very often for past 3 days, touching edge of ear all day long.

There are no any other symptoms so i dont think it is infection or pain and he is not touching middle, just edges.

The only difference is changes in sleeping pattern and often waking up but i guess it is just another development phase.

Any ideas or experience?
Thanks

That was always a sign of an ear infection with my kids . Is it just the one ear?
Maybe its a comfort thing if not a medical reason

Teething?

Mine used to yank their ears when they were teething...

Might be, he has only 4 teeth fo far.
Was it excessive yanking in your case?

Teething? 4 teeth isn’t many for that ages so more are probably imminent! First molars are typical around that age too. Any other signs like dribbling or chomping on stuff?

Hell yea, yesterday he destroyed our $1k living room table by eating it

Yep, quite a lot of yanking and pulling of ears!
