Ear infection? Scabs? Green ear wax & puss?

Question

Sounds gross. It is. My ear hurt a long time when I went to my derm I got some cephalexin, so I figured it would kill the earache. Well it never did. I have puss on the Qtip when I swab. Some green colored ear wax... I flushed with peroxide and swabbed, a big scab came out. My ear was bleeding yesterday. It hurts bad and I already know I am going to the doctor tomorrow but why is there green in my ear now?

Answer 1

It sounds like you have developed a very bad ear infection.Most of the time if you have an infection in your body for example,a bad cold,it can sometimes come out of your body being green which is often a sign of an infection. You should see your dr. as soon as possible to get some antibiotics.

Answer 2

Don't panic if you're going to the doctor. You can get bug bites in your ears or infections that aren't clearing up. He will most likely tell you stop using Qtips right now and leave it alone. He may rinse it out for you can give you more antibiotics. He will probably give you something to put in your ear too to help it clear up.

Answer 3

The infection is still there. It's great that you're going to the doc tomorrow. Ear infections can get very serious - they can result in deafness and even worse if not taken care of right away. Be sure to follow the doc's directions to the letter.
