My 14 year old autistic non verbal son cries out loud pressing his fingers against both ear holes.. This period continues for about 5 to 15 minutes periodically every second day or so - about twice a day. Being non verbal he is unable to explain reason. A reddish patch since birth reddens more this period on left side of his head. Please help. Thanks. Sameer .
