Hi Rachey,
Avoid flights also..consult an ENT surgeon. It could be infection in the ear canal or recurrence of middle ear problem.

Hi Rachey,
Act fast, you need to get a thorough evaluation done from your ENT specialist before you take the next flight. This is something which you need to be concerned, there is on-going infection in the ear. It has to be managed accordingly. Avoid swimming and water into the ears.
