What Is Ear Discharge (Otorrhea)?
Ear discharge, also known medically as otorrhea, is any fluid that comes out of the ear. This can range from:
- Clear or yellowish liquid
- Pus or blood-tinged discharge
- Foul-smelling or sticky secretions
While some discharge is normal (like water from swimming), persistent or smelly discharge is usually a sign of infection or trauma and should not be ignore
Causes of Ear Discharge
There are several potential causes of ear discharge, including:
- Middle ear infections (Otitis Media) Often seen in children, infections behind the eardrum can cause fluid or pus to build up and leak out.
- Swimmer’s Ear (Otitis Externa) An infection in the outer ear canal, often caused by moisture retention or injury.
- Perforated Eardrum A tear or hole in the eardrum from infection, injury, or loud noise.
- Ear Trauma Insertion of sharp objects (like cotton buds or pins) can damage the ear and cause discharge.
- Foreign Objects in the Ear Common in children and can lead to irritation or infection.
- Cholesteatoma A serious but rare condition where abnormal skin growth behind the eardrum causes persistent discharge and hearing problems.
Symptoms That May Accompany Ear Discharge
- Pain or discomfort in the ear
- Hearing loss or muffled sounds
- Fever or general unwellness
- Itching or fullness in the ear
- Foul smell from the ear
If you’re experiencing any of these along with ear discharge, it’s time to consult an ENT specialist in Indore promptly.
How I Treat Ear Discharge – A Tailored, Step-by-Step Approach
At my ENT clinic in Indore, every case is evaluated with a detailed examination using an otoscope and diagnostic tools. Depending on the cause, treatment may include:
1. Antibiotic Therapy
For infections caused by bacteria, oral antibiotics or antibiotic ear drops are prescribed to eliminate the infection and dry up the discharge.
2. Ear Cleaning
Under magnification, I may carefully clean the ear canal using microsuction or specialized ENT tools to remove debris, wax, pus, or foreign objects — done pain-free and safely.
3. Anti-fungal or Anti-inflammatory Drops
For fungal infections or allergic reactions, specific medicated drops are used to calm inflammation and stop discharge.
4. Surgical Treatment (if needed)
In severe or recurrent cases like chronic ear infections, cholesteatoma, or perforated eardrums, minor surgical procedures such as myringoplasty or tympanoplasty may be advised.
Don’t Ignore Persistent Ear Discharge
Chronic discharge or self-medicating with over-the-counter drops can worsen the condition. Only an experienced ENT specialist can identify the root cause and offer the right treatment.
