Hi anish ! Are you sure it is puss ! smell bad , yellow red, thick ? Ok take her to the ENT. Don't worry it is not from inside of head. As head can't tolerate small bleeding and we here talking about puss. Do a home work ask for all the problem she feel and write it down on the paper so doctor can diagnose easily and accurate. Take her recent medical history with you too. Wish her get well soon. Take care. Bye.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
If the accident was in 2009,it is unlikely that the leakage he is now experiencing is related. It is not likely to be leakage of fluid from his brain.
The fracture should have healed in this time period.
It is possible that he has an ear infection , he may want to first consult his general practitioner.
If he wishes, he can go to an ear, nose and throat specialist for a review.
Hope this helps
