Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Pus discharge fro the ear with bad odor must be examined by the ENT surgeon and not the Pediatrician for clinical evaluation, cleaning and proper antibiotic, decongestant and symptomatic treatment.
Use no drops as the skin is very tender.
Do not do anything at home you can harm more.
Do not bottle feed or breast-feed in lying down position.
