But that was it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ear-discharge#post-1755992 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 20:10:37 +0000 wonderstruck 1755992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L has tons of ear wax that can sometimes look weird like this when a bunch works its way out of his ear at once. I had his pedi check it out because he was grabbing his ears a lot too, but she said they looked great! If he's not in pain I wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ear-discharge#post-1755974 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 19:56:21 +0000 MrsH 1755974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: LO gets dark brown red ear wax. She seems fine though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ear-discharge#post-1755971 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 19:53:16 +0000 Smurfette 1755971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: OMG! I started a thread about the same thing this afternoon. R's right ear has brown/yellow discharge but she doesn't seemed botherd by it, except when I used the qtip to clean it. It is a lot better but I am going to call the pedi tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ear-discharge#post-1755964 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 19:47:57 +0000 Tanjowen 1755964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone. He woke up okay this morning and I'm keeping an eye on him - no more ear discharge and he's acting normal, but going to call the pediatrician in the morning just to be extra safe :)</p> <p>@MamaMoose: I somehow thought that babies would act in a lot of pain if they had an ear infection...did something tip you off your LO had one, or did you go in to see the pedi and he caught it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ear-discharge#post-1754865 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 21:11:58 +0000 BeachMama 1754865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD woke up with brownish/reddish crusty ear wax one morning that looked like dried blood. Our ped said it was ok, ear wax can be many colors. We took her in the next day for a checkup just in case and everything was fine. So I'd say unless he's acting sick or has a fever, it's probably ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ear-discharge#post-1754808 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 20:24:05 +0000 SLR 1754808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO produces a lot of wax and her ears often get like this. It could just be that your LO is waxy like mine!</p> <p>My daughter does also get frequent ear infections and is finally getting tubes on Friday. However, this shouldn't be related to her waxiness though. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ear-discharge#post-1754759 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 19:44:18 +0000 MamaMoose 1754759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO got an ear infection EVERY time she cut a tooth until we got tubes. If it continues or he acts off at all, if probably get him checked out. When we brought M in for the first ear infection her pedi was shocked at how bad the ear infection was because she really wasn't fussing and wasn't running a fever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ear-discharge#post-1754740 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 19:33:56 +0000 Dandelion 1754740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D gets ear wax drainage when he's congested or teething. He's getting his 6 year molars in and it's been rough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ear-discharge#post-1754686 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 18:51:50 +0000 Applesandbananas 1754686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has tubes and just had this, I think it's from an infection in my lo's case. He hasn't acted bothered (though it's kind of hard to say for sure since I noticed it shortly after we returned from a long trip, during which he was kind of crabby!)</p> <p>I'd call the pedi just in case! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ear-discharge#post-1754684 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 18:46:50 +0000 Tanjowen 1754684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO woke up this morning with an earful of a dried brown substance in his right ear. It wiped out easily, did not smell, and I assume it was ear wax...but I am concerned it's a sign of an ear problem or possibly a start to an ear infection? He is teething, but he hasn't run a fever and is sleeping okay. </p> <p>Anyone have this before? Is it normal for ear wax to just ooze out during the night? </p>
