A member asked:
Please advise if it's normal to have yellow discharge for a few days after an eardrum rupture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, when an eardrum ruptures, it is often due to otitis media - pus behind the eardrum. So the pus will drain into the ear canal. In addition to oral antibiotics, your doc should prescribe eardrops to help with the disharge.
