2 year old pulling at ears but otherwise fine

[popsycal]

DS has been pulling at both his ears for a few weeks but is not ill at all. They don't seem to be hurting him and he doesn't have a temperature. He is his normal cheeky self.

Should I get it checked out?

I'd see if I could get a practice nurse to have a look just in case. It is probably just something like wax, or maybe a little eczema behind his ears but best to get it checked out IMO.

that is my gut reaction too gingernut
thanks for your reply

My DS started doing this at 2 and is now almost three and has stopped. I think it was a comfort thing. He wasn't in pain or anything I think he just liked the feel of his ears! I did worry that he might cause his ears to grow misshapen but okay so far!!
