I am a preschool teacher. I have a child that has sever slightly blood tinged mucus/puss drainage from his ear. His parents say it is fine and he has no pain etc. I have never seen anything so severe. I have four children of my own and have been a teacher for over twenty years. It just does not seem normal or acceptable to me. any advice or thoughts. thanks
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I appreciate your efforts as a teacher And picking up something like this. Most teachers miss out on these. You are right, it's not normal in this age child Chat Doctor.  This child needs urgent consult with a pediatrician Or an ENT expert to examine his ear inside and will need to start on antibiotics to control the infection. Wish you good luck and continue the good work. Take care.
