Hello

For itching associated with allergies, both Benadryl and Hydrocortisone cream are effective. Hope she feels better.

If itchy inside the ear canal, put in ear drops like Debrox once a week. If on the outside, wash with shampoo when washing her hair and could apply 1% Hydrocortisone cream. May need to have a Doctor look into her ears.

You can use a small amount of hydrocortisone cream to help the itching. Do not dig down in the ear canal; this can damage the ear drum and impact the wax.
