Pulling and itching ears?

Question

My 9 month old daughter has been tugging/pulling and itching her ears quite a bit for probably a few months now. Her pediatrician said they looked fine on a few different occasions now. 
I don’t necessarily think it’s hurting her just maybe itchy? She seems relieved when I rub them for her. 
I didn’t get to ask the dr what else it could be if they look fine to her? Just curious if it could be something other than an ear infection or if I should worry? I know teething can cause some problems but she still is showing no signs of teeth coming through.

Answer

My daughter pulled on her ear a lot when her bottom two teeth came in,  I was planning on calling the dr's thinking it could be an ear infections as she had no other signs of teething then bam up pop two little teeth.
Once they came through she stopped with the pulling.
Now her top two are coming and she's constantly rubbing just under her nose.

Answer

Is she teething? My son has been doing the same thing and he has his first two teeth coming in.

Answer

Could be teething. Just because you don't see them yet doesn't mean they aren't coming in.

Answer

My son starts tugging and scratching at his ears when he’s about to pop a new tooth

Answer

Maybe its the soap you are using? Try a different soap, maybe some is getting in her ears when you wash her hair...
