Our 7 month old has had quite a rotten cold. No temperature, except last Friday was slightly elevated. Just really snotty - pretty chirpy baby so smiley, eating and drinking as normal.


But! She is quite alarmingly full of snot, and, here comes my question - even her ears are gunky. It doesn't seem to hurt her at all if I touch them, but it seems there is snot actually coming out of her ear. Poor tot.


I am loathe to take her to the doc, as it is so full of sick people and I suspect they would say there is nothing they can do, but should I be more concerned about this ear snot?

Thanks ClareC. It's like an overflow pipe of sorts, the ear that is. The doc said that when there is too much pressure in the head from congestion, the ear gets a little hole and it comes out of there. Pretty gross. They seemed quite relaxed about it - apparently quite common with little ones. I feel awful for her as she she was quite whingey on Friday night, but quite chipper on Sat when the ear snot started. Maybe it's one of those better in than out scenarios!

    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
