I perforated my ear and have had 2 grafts to repair it that have failed and the perforation is now quite a large hole. I ensure that I do not get any water into the ear and I do have to be careful if I get a cold or my sinuses/hayfever plays up. My ear is playing up at the moment due to my sinuses and I am on antibiotics. The doctor tells me that the ear looks ok and not inflected. However, I have a lot of ringing and echoing in my ear. I noticed that there is also a fluid build up, especially overnight, and when I wake up the fluid just flows out. Its smells like ear wax and is straw coloured. I am not in pain nor do I have any dizzyness. Just wondering if this fluid, which I find on the pillow each morning, will dry up with the antibiotics?
