Otorrhea is the medical term means ear discharge or drainage which is exiting the ear. Having any fluid draining from an ear is not something individuals are accustomed to experiencing. In order to diagnose the cause of this discharge, it is very important to know just how long it has been occurring, how severe it is, and exactly under the circumstances that it began. More than a few diverse conditions can cause an individual to experience this discharge. Several of the more ordinary causes consist of a variety of types of infection, the access of an unfamiliar object into the ear as well as trauma to the brain. The various problems which cause this discharge will normally produce dissimilar types of drainage being occurring. Normally the management of otorrhea will depend on the reason for the discharge. Causes for this discharge can begin from the ear canal, the middle ear or the cranial vault. Definite reasons are inclined to be evident acutely because of the relentlessness of their signs or related conditions. 

CAUSES OF OTORRHEA :

1. Variety of infections

2. Access of an unfamiliar object into the ear.

3. Trauma to the brain.

Normally, an infection of the middle ear will cause ear discharge. This is also well-known as otitis media and this kind of infection can cause the middle ear to grow to be inflamed, typically due to viral or bacterial infection. This condition is most common in children and typically causes very glue-like, thick mucus to increase in the middle ear. This increase of the mucus can result in a ruptured eardrum. When this occurs, ear drainage most likely takes place as the mucus will drain from the eardrum and outside the ear.
