    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.

    I saw a story on RPA last night about a lady who kept getting abcesses(sp?) on her ear drums and they were popping. Just a thought.

    Best to get him to a specialist i think.

    Good luck

    Hi Antheia
    It sounds like an infection to me. The reason that the puss is coming out of the eye is:-
    You have a small tube that connects the ear to the back of the throat (Eustation Tube). You also have a tube that connects the eye to the back of the nose (can’t remember the name of it). These tube exits are quite close to each other . The infection in the ear is probably under a little pressure. So therefore the puss travelling down the Eustation Tube could quite easily travel up the tube that I can’t remember the name of and end up coming out of the eye.
    I think seeing an ENT would be a good idea.

    Good luck hunny. Has he had any abs to clear it up? Hopefully thats all he'll need.
    Possibly grommits. Not sure as its different, but when DD1 had grommits every time she had an ear infection fluid would leak out her ears. So it might help if they have that release?
