Patient's question:
I would like to ask a question. My sister's baby's ears often have liquid flowing out. The child's hearing is not very good, but there is no crying phenomenon. It seems like there is pus discharge.Doctor's answer:
Otitis media is a common ear disease that occurs in infants. Children cry due to ear pain. At first, some parents cannot find the cause. They only discover it when they see pus in the ear. Otitis media develops into pus when the eardrum perforates. After the pus is drained, with diagnosis and treatment, the perforation can heal and improve. If it does not heal within 2 to 3 months, it becomes chronic. Although the pain may subside, the child's temperature remains high, and they often vomit, cry, or even lose hearing. If bacteria invade the inner ear or brain, not only is hearing significantly affected, but it may also lead to some serious diseases, which is very dangerous.
