Physical Examination
To determine the cause of the otorrhea, it is necessary to clean the ear, preferably via suction. In the event that otorrhea is present, do not utilize ear lavage due to the potential risk of injury. Cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea should always be measured in the event there was face or head trauma/surgery.
Ears
- Cleaning the ear thoroughly with magnification
- If there is no tympanic membrane perforation, then the source is the external ear canal.
