Question
My baby is 8 months old and I found liquid resembling pus leaking from their ear. What’s going on?
Answer
Based on your description, the liquid resembling pus leaking from your baby’s ear could be a symptom of otitis media. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital immediately for a check-up to determine the cause. After the doctor’s diagnosis, antibiotic treatment is usually prescribed, along with ear drops and cotton balls for cleaning the ear. Please follow the doctor’s instructions for medication and closely monitor your child’s condition.
