Granddaughter, four years old ate shrimp and her ears began to itch. she has eaten shrimp before with no reaction.

Difficult issue: She might have developed an allergy to shrimp between the 1st & 2nd exposure, There may be something in the cooking process that she is sensitive to (crab boil is a common one). What you describe does not rise to the level of a scary reaction but it deserves close monitoring.

If your inner ear itches and then hurts; what causes it and what should you do about it? It was itchy last year and the dr. Said to put cortisone cream on it and the itching went away, but not for long. Repeated the procedure. Helped, but not for long.
