White solidified fluid in ear
Hi doctors,
My nephew who is of age 5 months and weight of 7 kgs suffered from ear pain 2 weeks back. A local doctor suggested the following medicine - exotic ear drops and state the reason could possibly be AC or air cooler. However, the pain was gone after consuming it for 10 days.
We are happy that he is no more suffering from it but there is some solidified white(cream colored) liquid that came to our notice today and I have attached the pictures below. Is this the normal fluid which we see in our ears or cpuld possibly be becuade of the medicine he used? If so, do we have approach doctor to remove this fluid or will it go naturally?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Vamshi B
