Suggest Treatment For Ear Discharge
I was at the doctor two weeks ago and the doctor gave me some antibotics for a sinus infection and I had an ear infection. The medicine did not work for the ear infection. My one ear is draining and I have no pain nor blood. It does get scabby and not sure if it could be excema . The doctor wants to see me but I do not want to waste my money on medicine that won't work. They the doctor's office wanted to see me just in case I would have a perforated ear drum. I don't believ I have one. Let me know what you tink or what I could take over the counter for it.

in my opinion this is chronic suppurative otitis media. and that is not exxema, that is excoriation of skin due to ear discharge. I would recommend you take ofloxacin ear drops, and nasal decongestant like xylometazoline nasal drops. take precautions to prevent water in ear. later on you must visit to an ENT specialist nearby to confirm your drum status. most likely it's perforated. size to perforation would be crucial in management, as large chronic perforation will require tympanoplasty.
