My husband has had a problem with not being able to hear out of his left ear for several months. If he drank a hot drink his ear would open and drain. He went to an ENT 3 weeks ago. He prescribed prednisone for 2weeks, it didn't help. A week ago he went back, the Dr inserted a vent in the ear. The ear began leaking fluid, all weekend, quite a bit. On Monday he. Went back, Dr removed the vent sent him home with no instructions, sent the fluid to the lab, it did come back as brain fluid waiting for appointment with another Dr. Should he be up and doing his normal activity or what should he do, it's still leaking.
