Question 1

what does it mean when my ears are burning?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: The question "were your ears burning?" is a saying people use when someone they were just talking about shows up or calls. I've never heard it used in a medical context because it is not a symptom or feeling typically ascribed to any disease of the ear that I'm aware of. If you are having pain in your ears you may have an infection but even infections will feel different if in middle ear or canal

Question 2

my son ear's are burning and really red all on the outside and behind his ears and persistent coughing what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Umm, hard to say.: There is really nothing specific about the symptoms you describe for your son that gives us a clue as to what exactly is going on medically. A cough with a rash conjures up all sorts of possibilities.... How old is your son? Does he have fever? Does the rash go away--or is it persistent? Why is your child taking Aspirin daily? ...As you can see, there are too many questions unanswered. See your md.
