I have ear infection - brown discharge, what to do for treatment?

See an ENT: An Ear Nose and Throat specialist needs to take a look in that ear and determine exactly what is going on...it may not be a bacterial infection at all! Treatment will depend on what they find. Good luck!

Need ear drops: What you are describing sounds like an otitis externa (swimmer's ear). If this was an otitis media (ear infection) with a perforated ear drum it would likely be pus like fluid. If you have been swimming recently then swimmer's ear is more likely. Simmer's ear usually hurts more than otitis media. Antibiotic ear drops and abstaining from swimming for about a week is the treatment
