Ear pain / drainage
The other day I woke up with an extreme ear ache, and a few hours later the pain vaguely subsided and my ear started draining a yellowish fluid. Since then, it hasn’t stopped draining, but the pain is almost fully gone. it’s just very uncomfortable to have to constantly be cleaning up the drainage. also, my hearing in that ear is slightly fuzzy. what could this be? i’ve been taking over the counter sinus relief pills, but those only help short term. I also have a very stuffy nose as well.

You could be suffering from ear infection. Yellow fluid means pus, probably u need to take a course of antibiotics. Consult with ur doctor
