What Causes Earache Along With Semi-sticky Discharge?
Good Morning. I battled to sleep last night due to painful ear.... Last week sometime I had flu and I fear the infection now may have spread to my ear. In the early hours of this morning after finally getting to sleep... my ear starting popping and making a clear semi-sticky discharge... should I be worried.. or is the par for the course of letting the infection pass!

Hi.
It seems that there might be having infection in your external ear producing now exudate and discharge.
cleaq the ear with cotton bud and put antibiotic ear drops for few days.
If infection persisted then you might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days.
Ok and take care.
