What Is The Red Brown Sultana Thing Found In My Son's Ear??
My two year old had what appears to be a sultana in his ear. I was able to pull it out. Could it be wax. He has had numerous items removed from his ears a month ago. Doctor told me to use antibiotic ear drops. Yet the blockage remained until we pulled it out. He seems to be talking better now. What is this red brown sultana thing ?

WELCOME TO HCM.
THE RED BROWN COLOURED THING U REMOVED SEEMS TO BE PREVIOUSLY IMPACTED WAX THAT GOT SOLUBILIZED DUE TO EAR DROPS IN UR SON'S EAR. THIS WAX WOULD HAVE BEEN PROBABLY LEFT AFTER REMOVAL OF THOSE ITEMS LASTMONTH. THIS WAX WAS THE REASON FOR PERSISTING BLOCKAGE. NOW SINCE U REMOVED IT, UR CHILD IS HEARING BETTER AND TALKING BETTER.
