Worm in baby ear

2018-04-18 18:20:29
Sir/madam I saw a small white colour worm, outside my 8 months old son's ear. Want to know, could a small worm get in brain through ear, could it damage ear drum, what happened if ear drum damaged. Is it possible to hear with damaged ear drum?

It is unlike that worm can get inside ear without causing any symptoms in baby such as excessive crying and ear discharge. Though it's unlike to cause any significant damage you should visit nearby ENT as soon as possible
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
