What is going on? I'm so worried.

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.

maybe there is an underlying infection in his sinuses thats the problem

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?

Went to the GP and he's now on his 3rd lot of antibiotics. He'll need to be seen again in 10 days and we've been given a referal to an ENT specialist. The GP said he'll probably need grommets. But i thought they didnt put them in until 3 years of age?

Kane had grommits at 18 months babe.
And I know clefts are different, but they tend to get ear infections, and so some cleft bubbas get grommits very early, I know of some getting them at 4 months due to heaps of infections in the first few months of life...

So he's not too young, and they just may give them to him at this age. He does have to go under for it, but its very fast and simple.
