Brief Answer:
Needs evaluation...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Is the discharge watery or pus stained?
Do you have ear pain?
Do you have any associated hearing issues?
Have you consulted an ENT doctor before starting antibiotic?
Ear discharge is associated with outer and middle ear infection. A physical examination is recommended to isolate the cause. If you have used antibiotics for 5 days with no improvement, perhaps the antibiotic need to be changed. A swab test on the discharge is recommended before deciding the next best antibiotic.
Based on these facts, I recommend you report back to the treating doctor for complete ear examination. Further test on the discharge as well as hearing is necessary.
In the meanwhile do not instill any drops into the ear. Keep the affected ear dry. You can take oral antihistamines such as tab levocet 5mg one every night until you see the doctor.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any other specific information.
Regards
