Middle ear infection

2017-03-24 09:21:46
I have been experiencing ear discharge from last 13days. Discharge has reduced but not entirely gone. This has also caused swelling on facial nerve. Done with MRI scan- infection has not infected brain. It states soft tissue fluid . I have a question how long does the ear discharge happens. and is it normal that it lasts for these many days? Please explain in detail how i can proceed with further care, I am really worried and I am following up with doctor as well.
