Otitis Externa Left Ear

2015-08-24 09:06:38
I have been suffering from otitis externa of the left ear. There's been a continuous discharge from the ear. Have been on oral antibiotics for the last two months now. Though the extent of discharge has reduced, I'm yet to be completely cured even after 2 months. Culture says pseudomonas aeruginosa. What should I do?
