What should I do if a two-month-old baby has yellow fluid coming from their ear?

Patient's question:

A two-month-old baby has yellow fluid coming from their ears. It dries up after a while and is yellow. I consulted various teachers, wondering what this could be and whether I need to go to the hospital immediately.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, there are two considerations: one is how the child might have choked on milk, leading to otitis media, and the other is the possibility of external ear canal eczema.
Recommendation: Take the child to a formal hospital's otolaryngology department for an in-person consultation. Have an ear endoscopy performed to confirm the diagnosis, and then receive targeted treatment. Please do not use medication blindly.
