DD (23mo) was grizzly all night but no temperature. After breakfast she was playing, stopped to complain about her ear, then showed DH her finger tip which was covered in brown waxy liquid.
He rushed her to me in bed another room, explained and I could see a loose brown waxy fluid in and around her ear and hair. I cleaned it up, it didn't seem to smell at all. DD has has a cold all week, with a fever for one day only which was 5 days ago now. She had a bath last night and got her ears wet when I washed her hair.
Since she was a few months old, DD has had very waxy ears that I clean by wiping the outside of her ear after a bath with a towel (never any further). Her speech development is good (says a few words a bit weird but put that down to being a toddler) and her understanding is great.
So what do you think? Visit to out of hours doc? A blockage of wax loosened by her bath? Glue ear developed post cold?
