ENT Specialist 's  Response
Dear Sir

Hello I am Dr Sharma ENT surgeon. On the basis of information provided I appears to be an ear infection - possibly middle ear infection leading to rupture of the drum and pus discharge from ear canal. But then the other symptoms are more complex (may be due to one of the complication of ear discharge) and you need a complete clinical examination to look for the cause of your symptoms. You will need a detailed hisotr examination and tests like the blood tests, X ray and CT scan to acually come don to the daignosis. If u want to discuss it further do write back with warm regards
