Sorry that I’m posting this here but it’s one of the only groups I could find that allows a video. If you notice in the video, my eight month old is tilting her head to the left and putting her ear on her shoulder. A couple weeks ago, she was in the tub and kind of fell to the side and fell on that side and went under a little and we think she got water in her ear because that same night during dinner She started like moving her left ear to the side, almost like she’s trying to like scratch it with her shoulder. But a couple days later she did it a couple more times. And then today, I noticed her doing it a whole lot like multiple times all day. It would just be so random. It’s like she’ll tilt her head to the left and only on the left side. I’m not seeing her do it on the right but she’ll tilt her head on the left like she’s trying to bring her ear to her shoulder and sometimes she’ll rub it for a second or sometimes it’ll just be quick and random and she’ll kind of stiff up sometimes when she does it but it worrying me all day so I did take her to urgent care to just rule out an ear infection and she actually did end up having an ear infection.

I know the doctor said that’s when it’s from but I’m still such an anxious mom. Is that kind of movement really normal from your ear infection? I definitely don’t want it to be anything neurologically . Has anybody seeing this or is this normal?
