Suggest Treatment For Itching And Swelling In Ears With Milky Discharge
I have had severe itching in my ears since I Got pregnant which causes a discharge of water after scratching it with cotton swabs , my daughter has been born and she is over a year old yet it stil itches with water and pain some times internal and external swelling With milky discharge. I have seen the ENT specialist all to no avail, what do I do please?
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..
As per your complain it seems like infection in the ear leading to discharge of pus that is a milky discharge along with watery fluid as well as pain and swelling in ear.. I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get an Otoscopic examination done and after a thorough clinical examination if infection is confirmed which seems to be most probable in your case he can advise you to take antibiotics like Amoxicillin or Cephalexin, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen or Naproxen, antibiotic ear drops and also the physician can drain out pus from the ear so that the recovery takes place faster as the infection will subside.. You should not try to put anything inside ear to remove pus or to tickle it it itches as well as avoid activities like Swimming in case if you do to prevent exaggeration of infection..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
