dear bethhany, welcome to hcm.
This is suggestive of a middle ear infection. I kindly advice you to consult the same ENT specialist for a more detailed review along with the Culture and sensitivity of the discharge and a radiographic approach of the ear canal and middle ear to rule out other issues.
thank you:-)

Hi thank you for visiting HCmagic. Your problema could be an infection with a Resistant Bacteria (So, common antibiotics doesn't clear your infection). I suggest Amoxiciline + Clavulanato 500 mg every 8 hours plus Ciprofloxacine 500 mg every 12 hours.
