Itching in ear of 6 yrs old son
My 6 yrs old son has intermittent itching in both ear for past two day. He isnt complaining too much, only when he sits for studies or a few other times. Like today whole day he complained about 4-5 times. I suspect it may be because of soapy water getting into his ear while bathing. Is there any ear drop like clozotic or EarWax which I can give him. I used Jhonson ear bid to clean but there wasn't much wax just a very tiny bit in one ear. Physical appearance of ear is fine no redness or swelling. No fever.

He seems to be having issues with his skin of the ear canal which can cause chronic irritation and itching. You should avoid using
Ear buds for cleaning the ear which can make his skin more drier.
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
