What Causes Yellow Foul Smelling Drainage From Ear?
9 year old boy with downs syndrome. first drainage was dark, blood tinged, then white flakes that looked like skin, followed by an old ear tube that had most likely fallen into middle ear and was now pushed out. ENT prescribed floxin drops a week ago. Still, yellowish, foul smelling drainage a week later. Has had matoiditis in the past so a bit worried.
