I have had an ear infection for two weeks now and have been putting antibiotic cortisone drops in it for a week, as directed by the ER doctor who said that I have an outer ear infection, but that my ear channel was so inflamed that he could not see all the way in. The swelling has gone down a lot, but I am getting red puss out of my ear. Most of the time, it just itches and feels inflamed, in addiction to the clogged feeling. I do have pain associated with eating. What should I do now. I was directed to take the drops for 7 days.
