Ear itching

2020-10-30 08:47:33
My son 7 month 20 days old he is been trying to itch his right ear with finger sometimes during day not whole day. During his vaccination day I have informed doctor he has prescribed soliwax ear drops. Is it safe for baby to use that drops since she has not checked his ear with light. But confused as what could be the reason for itching. But he doesn't have runny nose.
