Ears

[Cat365]

How do you handle ears that are so infected/dirty that the tympanic membrane can’t be seen? Do most ERs irrigate? If so, is it something a Dr does or do you do it in your workplace? What do you use?

I have a secret for you...Visine works just as well.

All you parents out there will thank me for this when it’s 2am, 14 degrees out and your toddler is screaming bloody murder from ear pain.

I haven't had bleeding. Was it bright red or more purulent/blood-tinged junk? I guess it wouldn't alarm me really, given that otitis, if it exists under all the gunk, can involve discharge to begin with.

OMG, auralgan! I had almost forgotten about that stuff. lol
