Dear patient
You have got acute on chronic mastoiditis. This condition is characterised by discharge from ear and behind ear which is recurrent. It may remain silent for months and recurs when you get common Cold. This should be investigated with Xray of skull anteroposterior and lateral views to assess mastoid status. Best treatment is surgery to clear infection. You need to consult expert ENT specialist nearby your area and get yourself examined and investigated. All the best.
