A member asked:
Ear has been draining for a month. tried three antibiotics and ear drops. still painful and hard to hear with that ear. what next? seen dr twice

Possibly still norma: Assuming this is a middle ear issue, it is not uncommon for drainage to take several weeks to clear. Pain at 4 weeks seems unusual. Would recommend a specialist evaluation.
