Drainage from the ear; Otorrhea
is drainage of blood, ear wax,
pus, or fluid from the ear.
Ear wax accounts for most ear
discharge. However, discharge
may also be caused by minor
irritation or infection. A
ruptured eardrum in a child
who has been complaining of
ear pain is often demonstrated
by a white, slightly bloody,
or yellow discharge from the
ear. Dry crusted material on
the child's pillow is often
a sign of a ruptured eardrum.
Common causes are:
• Swimmer's ear (otitis
externa)
• Mastoiditis
• Injury from a blow to the head,
foreign object, very loud noises,
or sudden pressure changes
(such as in airplanes), resulting
in a ruptured or perforated
eardrum
• Eczema and other skin irritations
in the ear canal can cause
some bleeding
