Pus oozing from ear - does she need to go to the ER or can it wait till Monday?

If she had a spontaneous tympanic perforation (busted ear drum to you), that would explain the exudate coming from the ear c. There's an infection going on in her middle ear -- she has otitis media and it sounds bad. The ear needs to be examined, cleaned up and she needs to start antibiotics today. Tympanic perfs in & of themselves are not usually that big a deal. Most seal up by themselves. But without being able to otoscope her ear, I can't tell how large a perf she has or if she may require a patch. I strongly suggest that she let you drive her to an ER and have this looked at. If you need to, have her contact me directly by e-mail (NOT via Yahoo! Answers) and I'll tell her the potential consequences of delaying treatment. I also have a couple of questions I'd like to ask her. My e-address is in my profile.
