Hello,
With the question “What is an itchy ear with yellow discharge? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The symptoms of itchy, yellow watery ears may suggest an inflammation of the outer ear canal. You need to stop picking your ears, limit water in your ears and watch for symptoms of ear itching, yellow discharge. In case the above symptoms do not decrease or appear symptoms such as fever, ear pain, tinnitus, hearing loss, you need to go to the ENT clinic for examination and treatment advice.
If you still have questions about itchy ears, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
