My boyfriend has a problem with his ear. He says it doesn't hurt but its clogged and there is fluid coming out.?

He should see a doc: Inner ear or outter ear infections may not cause significant pain for some people, but feeling clogged and discharge from ear is suggestive of an external infection, or a ruptured ear-drum from inner infection. It is difficult to tell exactly what he has, so i would suggest a visit to his doc for an evaluation/treatment. Good luck.

See your doc: It could be a cyst or inflammation if there was some trauma. Hard to say unless you have a doc look at it.
