How To Treat Ear Infection In A 7 Years Old Child?
my daughter age 7 was diagnosed in the morning at a walk in clinic with an ear infection and was proscribed amoxicillin 250mg/5ml for 10days . Just a few hours later beige liquid started to come out of her ear. It seems to be a lot of discharge its been going down her neck and all over her shirt. she's had ear infections before, but this has never happened. has her ear drum ruptured? and if it has what can i do?

Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having infection in her middle ear and now there might be having leaking exudate form middle ear and there might be having mild rupture in ear drum.
Nothing to worry, continue with antibiotic medicine.
Clean the ear with cotton bud gently and put antibiotic ear drops.
Within 2-3 days she will be alright.
Ok and take care.
