Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter is complaining about both ears hurting I looked as best as I could with a phone flashlight and noticed white booger looking stuff lining the inside of canal not visible from just looking at the ear but deep inside too and it only hurt when I press on her ear it hurts but no fever she is ten years old
I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may order audiometer testing along with high and low pitched sound test to find exact diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like amoxicillin at least for 10 days along with decongestant and anti inflammatory. You should take steam and blow cheeks with nose closed. For now do warm saline gargles. Take steam twice a day and apply warm dry compresses to external ear.
Hope your concern has been resolved. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
