Grommets and discharge

[myturn]

My DSD had grommets, and when she has an ear infection the discharge is bloody, gooey and jsut plain disgusting.... she was taken to the emergency and a GP at the time and we were told that it was doing what it was supposed to be doing... however it also means that she did have an infection and I can't recall if she had antibiotics as well. I suspect it would make sense that she did (or should have!!)

I recall it was simply gross (can't recall if it smelled - but then I didn't get that close! - it was DH's job to clean up and check out that mess.... after all she's HIS daughter...!!

lol having said all that, go to the dr and get it looked at - probably its all okay but its not plesant and maybe they can give you something to clear up the underlying infection :-)

Thanks all, I will make an appointment for tomorrow. DS's appetite has been down today so I'm not sure if it's teeth, or he's not feeling well with his ears. I'm not too concerned about the rate of discharge as it does stop and go as advised by the specialist it would and we discussed this at the 6week check up. It's just the smell.

MG, I'll think about a double appointment
