Itchy ?: I am trying to understand how a 1 yo can articulate or describe an ear as itchy. If the kid scratches at it the possibilities are many. There can be a foreign object in the canal (bug,paper,rock,etc.). She could have fluid in her middle ear. All of this would require some one with training look at the ear to sort it out.
