my 5 year olds ear has very runny wax coming out of it - this is after a long and heavy cold. Do we just keep cleaning it awat until it stops? Its been 3 days so far. No discomfort throught the day. Had temperatures last week, but ok now. Some pain in ear at night time still, but again this was worse last week.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I understand your concern about your child and should appreciate you for doing the right thing for it. Cleaning regularly and keeping ear Chat Doctor.  Having said that, child needs to be shown to an ENT specialist to examine inside thoroughly for a hole in the membrane inside because such features are suggestive of chronic supportive Otis media which is a chronic infection of ear. If I were your pediatrician I would refer you straight away to ENT specialist. Take care.
