Patient's question:
My baby is 8 months old today and I noticed that there is a liquid coming out of the ear that looks like pus. What's going on? How can I get the help I need: What should I do? Is there a problem?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child's ear is leaking a purulent-like liquid. It is necessary to first check whether it is colic or pus. If it is colic, you can simply dry the ear. If it is pus, it may also be a symptom of otitis media. Anti-inflammatory and symptomatic treatment can be considered. Local treatment can be given with hydrogen peroxide for cleaning. It is essential to dry the ear with cotton before using ofloxacin ear drops for treatment. Additionally, oral cephalosporin antibiotics should be taken for anti-inflammatory treatment. If intravenous antibiotics are administered, the effect will be slightly better.
