Does Ear Discharge With Bleeding Need ER Admission?
My 3 year old had to have tubes put into his ears last year. Today he has came to us several times holding his right ear. This evening we noticed that same ear has a lot of discharge with light pink in it (blood, is my first thought). Is there problems with the tube? Should I take him into the ER or wait till in the morning and call his pediatrician? He is acting normally with no fever.

Hello. I just read through your question.
This happens from time to time. it is generally not considered emergent as long as he is otherwise ok, which you've observed he is. So an ER visit is not necessary and it can wait until you are able to see your pediatrician in the morning.
