Hi,
Yes, it looks like an infection in the ear with fluid or pus drainage from the ears. In case if the ears are not draining on its own then the infection will not resolve completely and in that case, putting ear tubes can help in draining the ears completely and also help in resolving the infection.
Along with it you also need to take antibiotics along with decongestant nasal drops like Otrivin.
Avoid excessive water exposure to the ears. Do not try to clean the ears on your own as it can damage the eardrum if you go deeper. Antibiotic eardrops can also help in improvement.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
