Ear Discharge or Drainage

Home Care Advice - Clear Discharge (without head trauma)

Clear Discharge (without head trauma)

  • It's probably tears or water that entered the ear canal during a bath, shower, swimming or water fight.
  • Don't overlook eardrops your child or someone else used without telling you.
  • In children with ventilation tubes, some clear or slightly cloudy fluid can occur when a temporary tube blockage opens up and drains.
  • Call Your Doctor If: Clear drainage persists for more than 24 hours or recurs
