My 11 yr old son has had this problem with a painful, itchy, burning red ear (left or right) for about 3 years. He also has ADD and gets very easily stressed. I've started treating him with vitamin/mineral supplements, esp. magnesium. He hasn't had a red ear in about a month. He used to get them every day, esp at school, where he was highly stressed. I've also been homeschooling for a month. So, either the minerals, or the lower stress levels, or perhaps both, may be helping. He'll return to regular schooling next Sept (he's changing schools) so I'll be watching closely to see if this problem returns.
