Drenaje o flujo del oído; Otorrea; Sangrado del oído; Hemorragia del oído
Es el drenaje de sangre, cerumen, pus o líquido del oído.
La mayor parte del tiempo, cualquier líquido que sale del oído es cerumen.
Sin embargo, la secreción también puede ser causada por irritación o infección leve. Una ruptura del tímpano puede provocar una secreción blanca y ligeramente sanguinolenta o amarillenta del oído. La presencia de material seco y costroso en la almohada de un niño a menudo es una señal de ruptura del tímpano.
El sangrado del oído también puede deberse a:
