Ear itching

2018-05-17 06:05:46
My 8 month old son scratches his ears very often. He feels itching inside ear we suppose so we asked his pediatrician , she said he has lot of dry wax inside and you can oil little. Do we need to visit ENT for this problem or this is normal and oiling will solve the itching problem he is facing Please suggest.
