Question

I’ve noticed that my child’s ear has an unpleasant smell, along with bloody discharge and purulent fluid. What was the previous treatment and its effectiveness? What kind of help do I need?

Answer

Hello, this situation may be caused by purulent otitis media, which means there is still inflammation in the middle ear. It is recommended to visit an otorhinolaryngology department for a follow-up examination as soon as possible and to use hydrogen peroxide to clean the outer ear canal to maintain cleanliness. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
