Ear Discharge Treatment in India

Angel Garcia, a 58-year-old retired construction worker, had been struggling with intermittent ear drainage and muffled hearing in his left ear for nearly two years. The discharge was often foul-smelling and accompanied by a persistent, dull ache. As someone who loved listening to music and chatting with his grandchildren, the hearing loss was isolating him. He had tried over-the-counter ear drops with no improvement. His ENT, Dr. Lee, examined him and recommended a procedure called an Aural Toilet or microsuction to gently clean the ear canal and middle ear under a microscope. This would allow a proper diagnosis and clear any infection or debris. During the procedure, Angel was awake but felt only slight pressure and a loud suction noise. Dr. Lee discovered and removed a significant amount of infected debris and a small, benign cholesteatoma (skin cyst), which was the root cause. After a week of antibiotic ear drops, the discharge completely stopped. A follow-up hearing test showed marked improvement. Emotionally, Angel went from feeling frustrated and resigned to his condition to being relieved and re-engaged. He was deeply grateful to hear his granddaughter's laughter clearly again.
