Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Hi arlene, My son s ears do that as well, also his hands, sometimes his feet. I'm pretty sure it has to do with automomic dysfunction. when it happens to the skin is also very hot to touch. Actually while on this subject, was sent home from school last thursday because he had been crying for almost and hour like he was in pain. I took him to the dr because thinking he might have an ear infection because he was holding his ear the whole time. His ear checked out fine for infections but they were both very very red and very hot to touch...the nurse took his temp 3 times because she was sure that she had a fever and the thermometer was wrong. I've never dicussed the the autonomic dysfunction with a dr before . is it supposed to be painful? thanks!

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 My son Colby gets red too. We were in the neuro's office last week and Colbys cheek got very red and was hot, he said (the DR) that it was dysautonomia. Colby has never complained about it hurting. He is non-verbal, but it takes severe pain to make him cry, so it could be painful. This has been happening for years. Colby's hands are always ice cold. I think Colby's ears have done that before although it is usually the cheeks, never the hands. Good Luck mom to Colby,13,COXIV,LCHAD,ACC,ADHD ,hypothroidism and osteopenia.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 gets the red ears too. Cooling off the rest of his body sometimes restores the ears to normal color. If we don't cool him off he gets very tired. Dysautonmia doesn't seem to worry 's doctors unless it stars to affect his heart of bowels.
