Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your kid has ear pain along with discharge which could be due to accumulation of fluid in ear canal and it could be due to development of negative ear pressure. I would suggest you to put otogesic ear drops to give relief to child. You should give antibiotic Levofloxacin to child for 5 days. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get otoscopic ecamination of ear and start treatment after proper prescription. Give warm compresses to child.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
