Take him to a vet. Could be a yeast infection or allergies. Is your groomer properly cleaning his ears (plucking the ear hair)? Also are you cleaning his ears on a regular basis? Shih tzus are prone to ear problems. Your Vet is the best place to start.

Hope I helped.

Ask the Vet to scope the ear. Mites usually result in the ear producing dark brown wax (as a way to protect the ear).
