The yeast infection is easy to kill though, just a little goop in them each day for a couple of weeks and your baby will be itchy free IF it is a yeast infection.
You can help with that by keeping the hair pulled from inside the ear. That hair can stay damp and breed bacteria. Another major cause from yeast infections is commercial dog food. Have you tried a simple real food diet to see if that doesn't help?
