Hello, I went through your query, causes for ear discharge include, earwax, swimmers ear, eczema,, hole in ear drum. Drainage from the ear that is thick and yellow or bloody, which means the eardrum has probably burst open due to middle ear infection, you need to consult ENT specialist for further examination and treatment.
