What Is The Treatment For Cold And Ear Discharge In A Child?
my daughter is 4 months and has a bit of a cold. I have noticed one of her ears is a bit watery as if the wax is watery. When she has woke up the last couple of mornings it has been all crusty round her ear lobe. It does not seem to be bothering her only when i am trying to clean her ear she is a bit grumpy

Hello,
Possible causes are like:
1. Middle ear infection with discharge
2. Dermatitis
3. Insect bites and its reaction etc.
Use moisturizer cream. Search for any ear discharge, if yes, it needs treatment with decongestants and antihistamines. If no improvement, please consult your pediatrician, he will examine and treat accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
