What Causes A Discharge From A 10 Month Old S Ear?

Hi My name is ml,lu. My Baby is 10 months old now.She has got the problem of discharge from her left ear for 2 or 3 days. Earlier around 1 month before she had the same problem and had been given Amoxicyllin which settled the problem for a few weeks and now it restarted again. We are worried about the discharge. Also after seeing the doctor today she is very unsettled and had been given Amoxicyllin again. We are worried about it whether this is because of her ear damage or some brain , head problems. Also she had been suffering from running nose and cold both occasions

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,

Ear, nose, pharynx are connected by Eustachian tube and hence infection in nose or throat can lead to ear infection and discharge. Problems in the brain usually do not lead to ear infection. You should continue antibiotics and decongestant. In case not relieved, you may consult ENT specialist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
