You might be suffering from acute suppurative otitis media which is a common type of middle ear infection. It is normal for pus to get collected and get dried up after pus gets drained. You need to avoid using ear buds and use antibiotics for few days so that tympanic membrane perforation heals
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
