Brief Answer:
Suggestive of ear inection
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for your query.
As per your description I were to suspect ear infection and associated with pus formation which ooze out intermittently, thus smelling bad.
Tiredness and has stomach upset indicates that the infection has spread to the body.I would examine his ear, start empirical antibiotic therapy (Tab.Amoxacillin/clavulanic acid) and send the pus for culture sensitivity test.
Consult an ENT surgeon without further delay.
