Hello doctor,
I am traveling with my 16 year old grandson. He had an ear ache when he woke up this morning and we saw a doctor here. He prescribed Amoxicillin 500 mg thrice a day. Later, his ear felt better, but it started draining. Now, there is a small amount of bright red blood in the ear canal. Should I take him to the doctor again? I am worried that if I do that, they will want to irrigate the ear, clean it and start some treatment. That would make things difficult, as we leave for home tomorrow morning.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- He seems to be suffering from acute otitis media.
- Yes, you would need to see your doctor again as he would check for signs of a perforation. If no perforation is found, your doctor would add up an antibiotic and antifungal ear drops too.
- Make sure he does not manipulate his ear with an ear bud.
I hope this helps. If you have any further query please ask me.
