Orson had a perforated ear drum(left ear) 9 weeks ago. He was seen a month later and it was healed. 2 weeks ago the same ear drum perforated again. 3 days ago he was seen by the GP and it was healed. Now tonight it has perforated again! Each time there is thick green pus coming out of his ear. Also this time and the first time he has the same thick green pus coming out of his eye which looks liek congunctivitis, however i don't think it is. I think it's related to his ear.
I am confused. Each time his ear drum looks fine after, no hole, no infection and then it pops again. I don't know what's going on.
He seems clingy and fussy the day before it perforates and then fine after. However, he never has a fever.
I was told the only reason pus would be coing out his ear like that is that an ear infection has popped the ear drum. But is this really what is happening? And the fact it's coming out his eyes?
I'll be ringing the GP first thing tomorrow morning and demanding he see an ENT about it. But im just so worried and i can't find anything on this at all.
Yep definitely get a referral to see a ENT specialist (ear, nose throat). I have found that conjunctivitis does often occur with other illnesses, so better get it checked as you may need antibiotic ointment. We just had it with DS and he got bronchiolitis straight after, so isn't unusual to have a few thnings going on. Good luck xo
oh the poor little guy!
Yep the ears and throat are connected and the tear ducts drain to the throat so that's probably what you are seeing. Can't be good near his ear though.
Hope you get some progress for him.
What is going on? I'm so worried.
