Orange-red Drainage From Ear, Have Tubes In Ears. Normal?
HMy daughter has had tubes in her ears for almost 2 years with minimal problems since. A few days ago she was complaining about her left ear and i could see a dark orangish red drainage so i began the drops her ENT prescribed to have on hand .... Should i call her dr or does this color discharge seem normal? She has NO fever and doesnt seem to be in any pain except when using the drops

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Any orangish red discharge from the ear should be taken seriously as it may be blood stained discharge. It is difficult to predict the cause without examination and no old ear drops should be used. It is advisable that the child be shown to a doctor and then treatment started accordingly.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your daughter all the best..
