Suffering From Non Hodgkins Lymphoma, Preventive Chemo Finished. Yellow Glue Like Liquid Coming From Ears. Any Medication?

I have a niece that has non hodgkins lymphoma , she has been in remission for a year, she just finished her preventive chemo in Dec of 2011. She now has yellow glue like liquid coming from her ears, she has tubes in her ears, she can hardly hear. She also is coughing up yellow and green she calls chunks. Her ENT says that there is nothing they can do. Can you help me get her started on getting better?

She is very prone to infections due to the lymphoma.She definitely needs a good antibiotic for at least a week.Since you have not mentioned her age,Icannot tell you the actual dose required.Moxclav or Augmentin would be a good choice,along with a cough syrup like Zyrcold.she needs nasal drops for 5 days followed by steam inhalation.she will be better,the ear discharge and catarrhal cough wil resolve.
