Hi,
Actually you are suffering from CSOM with suspected tympanic membrane rupture. You may need audiometry and x ray for complete evaluation. Take full antibiotic course (Amoxycillin and Cloxacillin work best), take anti-histamines.
Keep hygiene and follow your clinician. If you don't respond satisfactorily, or might need a minor procedure called tympanoplasty which is done in local.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
