Yellow pus means infection . Otiflox is also used to treat infections. If pus is coming out that means there should be a hole in your ear drum . This needs to be confirmed with a proper ear examination . Right now I suggest to take antibiotics to reduce the infection. Otiflox can also be used.
Health Tips
Don’t use ear buds.
Keep ear dry. Plug your ear with Vaseline soaked cotton while bathing and remove after bath.
