He has also been complaining of stomach ache due to gas, if it is at all related to this. Please help explain the red and hot ears. Doctor: Hi,from history it seems that he might be having some allergy, either internal or external giving this problem.There might be possibility of having worm infestation giving rise this allergic manifestation over ears and cheek and having stomach ache.Give him one course of anti-worm medicine like Albenmdazole.Give Cetrizine or Benadryl for allergic rashes.Ok and take care.
