she always ends up crying. her mother rubs olive oil and it works for a while but then it starts again. The baby is only about 6 months old. Is there any treatment for this? Is there anything her mother should use besides the oil?

Absolutely this baby needs to see a doctor immediately! Ear infections are not to be trifled with!

she probably has an ear infection or at the very least is teething which can make them tug their ears.
Tell the mother to take her straight to a doctor as a prolonged ear infection can cause permanent hearing loss.

She should be seen by a doctor... if she is pulling at or messing with her ears, she could have an ear infection.

My son did this...he would get scratch marks behind his ears he would scratch so much...it was a comfort thing for him though...when he was tired or upset, he would pull and scratch at his ears. We had his ears checked for ear infections and everything was fine...he grew out of scratching his ears, now he scratches the back of his neck when he gets tired or upset.

alot of the time when babies are teething they get ear infections, her mum should take her to the doctors, she may need antibiotics.
