Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Noted your history of drainage, pain and now sores around the ear.
This is possibly due to a fulminent infection with bacteria that are not responding to routine antibiotic or your resistance power is reduced by something like diabetes or so.
I would advise you the following in such a situation.
Get an opinion of an ENT for clinical evaluation, examination and proper treatment .
You may need further tests of blood for cbc, sugar; tests for pus from ear for gram staining, culture and sensitivity.
This will help you get a proper diagnosis and conduct a proper treatment .
I find this answer helpful
