Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Cause Foul Smelling White Discharge From The Ears Of A Baby?
My baby has smelly White discharge coming from inside his ear. It smells like cheese. He suffers from regular inflammation behind his ear and has a swelling under the skin behind his ear (like a swollen gland but in the wrong place, hard and not palpable). It really bothers him. His GP says there is nothing wrong but there clearly is, any idea what it could be? Am worried about mastoiditis and that it could be a fungal infection (from its cheesy smell)
The foul-smelling white discharge can be related to an infection. I suggest to give him Tylenol in case of pain. I also suggest to use antibiotic ear drops to treat the infection three times a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
