To ask you opinion on dds ears?

[categed]

Looking for traffic and i know no one has a medical opinion but am at work tomorrow so need some advice do i get a gp appointment or not.
Dd(3) has never had any problem with her ears. She has had infections in the past linked to colds and never bothered, no tears etc.
She has normal runny ear wax (dd1 has paper like wax) which sometimes is visable but not sitting on the outside of the ear.
She had a cold last week pretty much cleared since weekend. However tonight she has been crying and it looks like lots of wax in her ears. (Probably is) but it's different than before so am asking if i am being unreasonably to get an appointment or leave it another few days.

Pics attatched.
1st 2 images from friday when first noticed more wax but not crying.
Last image from tonight.

A lot of drainage can be a burst drum. Dd looked like wax. But the crying usually stops when the drums burst as the pressure is released.

If the ear drum has burst, does the OP DD need to see a doctor? Sorely I'm not being helpful.

Either doctor, or pharmacist. Earache can be agonising, so asap would be best.

Thank you for replying. I'm not sure how well it shows up but the wax has bubbles in it? And a whitish sheen inside, although that may be the light reflecting.
It's hard to tell how upset the ear is making her now as she suffers bag leg pains at night and evenings and can act confused when saying what's sore.
Don't wabt to waste anyone's time for normal ear wax and me be an over worried mum!

If her ears aren't usually like that would say an ear infaction. I would make an appointment just incase, your not wasting their time that's what they are there for

Don't know if this will help but DS was plagued with ear infections when younger. Can't say I noticed more wax but when his ear drum burst the discharge was greenish, more like pus than wax and a bit smelly. You could squeeze it out by pressing in front of the ear.

My son is a nightmare for over producing wax when he's had any sort of cold, the two seem to go in tandem and it is just wax nothing more.

Thank you all. Am thinking i am being a but silly. The bubble but has vanished now and she seems more settled in her sleep. Will check again in the morning. Thank you all.

Try a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel will be soothing for her. A dose of calpol if you think it's needed for the pain too. Unless it's an ear infection there's not a lot a doctor can do.

Latest view looks clearer now

She has had calpol and neurofen (for leg pain) so hopefully will sleep through.

I think see a pharmacist. My dd has waxy ears sometimes but no pain.

if there's a wax build up then the GP can help you but see what pharmacist says first.

Pharmacist will just tell you to see a GP as they don't have the tools or the training to look in ears. If there is any chance she is in pain I would get a GP to look as you don't want to risk a burst eardrum.

Contact the GP. Ask them for a referral to a appropriate specialist for advice.

I second a GP appointment ASAP. If the ear has had an infection and the ear drum has perforated or burst you need to know, as you have to be very careful not to get any water in the ear at all until it has healed completely.

You need to get GP or Practice Nurse to look inside the ear.

You can’t tell what’s going on just by the external appearance.

A bad smell or the ear being hot could also be sign of infection.
