What Causes Prolonged Pain And Drainage In The Ears?

I m a 62 year old white male. I ve had problems with dizziness and ear pain for over 40 years and I had drainage in my ears when I was a baby. I ve tried to get my family physician to please see why I m so sore behind my ear/ears when I become dizzy and weak but he says it s only sinus. I become very weak, nauseated and just plain sick when this occurs and the older I get I can t handle it anymore. I have ear pain like there s pressure in them and the pain runs down my neck after several days. I ve been to many ENT doctors for years but I believe it s my mastoid bone because of the soreness behind my ear. It s my red behind my ear but it s extremely sore. Can you please help me?

Chronic ear discharge from birth ,possibility of chronic suppurative otitis media should be ruled out.This is associated with infection of the mastoid _mastioiditis which causes pain and redness behind ear.My advice is to go for mastoidectomy surgery ,its never too late.
