Good day i am inquisitive to find out whether a scrum cap can cause an ear to leak? my son has worn a scrum cap in 2 of his rugby matches and after the match fluid pours from his ear. your advise will be appreciated.

Scrum: The covering over the ear could be a mechanism for fluids to collect into the ear canal. The cover would make the ear prone to infection and that would typically be of the ear canal.
