Child With Down S Syndrome And Perforated Eardrum. Continuous Fluid Discharge From The Other Ear After Cleaning. Have Bleeding
I have a son who has Down syndrome he has a perforated eardrum. He has had this for years. Recently a nurse cleaned out the perforated ear with some sort of water pik. The dr. Told her that she did the wrong ear. Ever since that happened there has been non stop wax and fluid from ear. Now the ear is bleeding and we are not sure what to do from here. We do have an appt with ent but it is still 8 daya from now
Hello, The perforated ear drums have got infected and now you need to give your son ---- suction cleaning if ear oral antibiotics ear drops if required decongestant or antihistaminics.
In down syndrome the ear canal is narrow than others .so it may take some time to dry up.but you need to get suction cleaning ,so that the discharge does not get collected inside and infection clears up.
