Hole in ear drum with pus in ear
Hi doc ,
My mother is undergoing treatment for ear as she is complaining of not able to hear clearly in one ear . After checking with doctor we came to know that there is pus formation on ear drum and there was a hole on ear drum.
She was taking treatment and later the hole was cured and pus also was gone .Later again she started facing same issue and the doctor says there is pus formed covering her ear drum which causes her hearing issue .
Why is the pus formation still happening even after she completes the course of Medicine ?? What is this issue and how to completely cure this issue ? She is 59 and this is the only issue she has .no bp no sugar.
Thanks in advance .

Your mother seem to have suffered from acute suppurative otitis media which is a common type of acute Middle ear infection. Usually with appropriate treatment infection will subside and hole in the ear drum will close but there will be collection of watery fluid in the middle ear for one or two weeks which is known as otitis media with effusion. Usually it is a self resolving condition and not much of treatment is required

Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required.
