Foul smell discharge from ear
I had my ear operation on 1 march .I had been suffering from an ear infection from the past 1 year .a foul smelling yellow discharge used to come out from my ear. So for curing this infection I had an ear operation on 1 march even a part of my bone is removed due to this infection.but now after 15 days of my operation I am again noticing a yellow smelly discharge coming out from my ear .what can be the possible reason behind this ?
