What Causes Sweating And Itching In The Head While Sleeping?

When I go to bed a night the side of my head which contacts the pillow sweats and creates an itch and wakes me up within 2 hrs. The sweat iet s off gurgles in my ear. I have to get up and use Q tips to remove the moisture before I can go back to sleep. I try to sleep all night on my back so the moisture doesn t build up in my ears. I ve had this problem for years and is getting worse. I ve been given CIPRODEX OT to help but it does t remove the problem.
