Regarding discharge from ear
I am experiencing continuous discharge from my left ear from last 3 years, i have consulted 2 to 3 doctor's and followed instruction given by them and taken all the medicines on time also used multiple ear drops, taken Amoxicillin huge number of time still it's not benefiting me. My ear hardly dry for 4 to 5 days and then continue to discharge. Also right ear tympanoplasty surgery fails and eardrum again become perforated, what should i do??😢
If there is repeated discharge then surgery is the only option, but has to be done during inactive infection that is when there is no discharge
After surgery it’s very essential for you to take care of the ear very very carefully
You can’t let water in side you should not lift heavy weight and so Many other things
Small snap things like this can result in failure of surgery
Next Steps
Get a culture and sensitivity done for your discharge
So when you have discharge they send that discharge for a test which will tell you which organism is causing infection and which antibiotic will work
When you take that particular antibiotic then there will be some improvement or discharge free period during which you should go for surgery
