Q. Some gum-like fluid is coming out of my ear. Please help.
Hi doctor,
Some gum-like fluid is coming out of my ear. I have this problem for almost two years now. Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- If you have been having ear discharge for two years, then most probably the ear perforation is a permanent one and you would require a surgery to close it and give you a dry ear.
- Also, chances are there that you do not have a perforation and just infection of the ear canal, which is not healing.
- In either case, an examination of ear through an otoscope or microscope is necessary to arrive at exact diagnosis and institute right management for you. I suggest you to get a professional consultation done for a physical evaluation.
- Meanwhile, you may follow a few suggestions:
- Avoid water entry into the ear.
- Keep cotton plug while bathing.
- Do not put anything into the ear to clean or scratch.
- I suggest Paracetamol tablet for pain and tablet Lorfast (Loratadine) to reduce discharge. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent.
