Hi, My daughter (9y.o) went to the pediatrician about 2 weeks ago for an asthma check-up and the doctor commented on sand in her ear. We were surprised to hear this, since we were nowhere near sand recently. Now when she s been cleaning her ears, we ve noticed a few white, crystal-like granuals on the Q-tip. She has no symptoms, no dizziness , headaches, hearing problems, or stuffy/runny nose and no head/ear trauma. What can cause this? What other conditions could this be a symptom of?
