How Can An Ear Discharge With Chest Infection Be Treated?

Hi, my baby (13 months) has a lot of discharge from one ear. It s a thick, creamy liquid, doesn t seem like wax, looks more like mucus. She also has a recurring chest infection. Could the 2 things be connected? Should we be worried about her ear? She is very unhappy, but this could also be because she s cutting her molars at the moment.

Hello, I can understand your problem. yes, these two things are connected through eusthasian tube. I think ear discharge problem is because of recurrent cold and chest infections, it creates negative pressure in ear canal. I think ear problem is most likely OTITIS MEDIA. Whether she had fever or not? So you consult with paeditrician and can start medicine like Syp. AMOX CLAV, Decongestants as per baby weight. Give nebulization twice a day. I think this is helpful to you. Review back. Thank you.
