Chinese doctors were left speechless after they discovered a dandelion growing inside a 16-month-old baby girl's ear canal.
According to the Beijing Morning Post, Ranran's parents explained that their daughter had been suffering from a painful ear infection for over 4 months, and took her to hospital after she began scratching it regularly, the Mirror reported.
Ranran's mother said that she could see something inside the ear canal but failed to make out what it was.
It is believed that a seed had lodged in Ranran's ear canal and had grown to almost 2cm long with the humid conditions in the ear canal encouraging its growth.
It was later surgically removed.
