Question
My child’s ear has an unpleasant smell, with bloodstained discharge and purulent fluid. How should I solve this problem?
Answer
Hello, this situation may be a symptom of purulent otitis media caused by inflammation still present in the middle ear. It is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and have a re-examination at the hospital’s otorhinolaryngology department. Meanwhile, use hydrogen peroxide to clean the external auditory canal and maintain its cleanliness. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
