Even my pediatrician isn’t sure of the cause of my child’s inner ear itch. Can I get your opinion? Started 2 months ago. Was in only 1 ear until a couple of weeks ago. It only itches a couple of times a day, but always after shower which is at bedtime and in the am. DC was in a couple of swimming pools this summer but not sure if it itches prior. She has no allergies that we are aware of. We were using a heavier conditioner at this time, but I switched to a fragrance free super sensitive one a few days ago, but it still itches.

In general medications that are absorbed locally like nasal spray are preferable to ingested meds like Claritin. Because they only affect that specific part, not the whole body. That said, there are steroids in Flonase, and I know the bottle doesn’t recommend for children under 9. [ Reply | More
