Drainage from the ear. Yellow, brown, bloody, or white fluid that isn't earwax may seep from the ear, indicating the eardrum may have ruptured.
Difficulty hearing. Fluid build-up in the middle ear prevents the eardrum from functioning properly. The sound is then unable to be transmitted to the bones of the middle ear and from there to the brain.
Otitis media with effusion. Symptoms of acute otitis media will disappear, but the fluid, which is called an effusion, may remain. Trapped fluid causes temporary and mild hearing loss.
