You might have had acute suppurative otitis media which is a common type of ear infection. Usually once ear discharge subsides, closure of ear drum perforation and improvement in hearing will take few weeks. You should make sure that it doesn't get infected again
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required.
