Perforated Eardrum Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
4. Discharge
Our ear canals are waxy, but this wax is usually quite dry. It has the job of helping to protect it from debris, small insects, or anything else that might get in and do harm. It is not normal for the ears to discharge any kind of material, and there probably is a problem if there is discharge.
Patients with a perforated ear drum will often experience discharge coming from their ear canal. It can be mucus-like, or pus-like, while in some cases it might be bloody. This is a clear sign that something is wrong, and that you should arrange to speak with a medical professional.
