You seem to be having acute suppurative otitis media with otomycosis (fungal infection of the ear) after using antibiotic ear drops. You need to use anti fungal ear drops for few days for and continue with whatever doctor has prescribed
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
