hi thanks for writing to us.
by the description u have given i feels its just wax getting discharged from the ear.
but u have to some times distinguish from acute middle ear infection- it presents as crying, pain while u touch the child s ear, fever and pus colored discharge from the ear, these events are preceded by running nose and a blocked nose. any how for the confirmation sake kindly get ur child examined by ur pediatrician, thank you.
