He seems to be suffering from chronic suppurative otitis media which is a common type of chronic middle ear infection. Usually permanent treatment is surgery known as tympanoplasty. Surgery is not done for children below age of 12 year. For time being you can give antibiotic ear drops and keep the ear away from water till he reaches age fit for surgery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
