this is most likely mucous or effusion coming from the middle ear. if your child has surgical tubes in place this would be the expected drainage. sometimes the pressure in the middle ear space (the area on the other side of the eardrum) causes the eardrum to tear or rupture. this is natures way of relieving this pressure and the pain. the vast majority of spontaneous eardrum ruptures will heal in a few days to a week. while this may sound alarming this is not an emergency. if your child is having symptoms of ear pain then having her examined is the best way to determine the current status of her ear or if she needs an antibiotic.
