Patient's question:
The baby is eight and a half months old and has yellow discharge in their ears with a foul smell. When it's extracted, it's sticky, and they always scratch their ears. They also have eczema. They just recovered from a cold and diarrhea a few days ago. What's going on with their ears?Doctor's answer:
The child is eight months old, and there is yellow discharge from their ear with a foul odor. This is usually a symptom of otitis media in children, and medication should be given for treatment. If it is confirmed to be otitis media, levofloxacin ear drops can be used. It could also be ear canal eczema, also known as congenital toxemia. This condition is caused by genetic inheritance from ancestors and does not require excessive treatment. It will naturally improve as the child grows older.
