HELLO AND WELCOME TO HCM.
U NEED TO GO TO AN ENT SPECIALIST FOR CLINICAL EXAMINATION. PROBABLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS THAT U HAV RUPTURED UR EAR DRUM AND HAS GOT SECONDRY INFECTION OF THE EAR. U WILL NEED ANTIBIOTIC COVER FOR THE SAME. UR ENT EXPERT WILL ALSO RULE OUT ANY CHANCE OF BRAIN FLUID (CSF) COMING OUT OF UR EAR.
