Hello. last night while asleep my ears start generating some kind of fluid. symptoms are hearing loss, pain etc. please suggest what to do. thanks?

See an ENT: Many conditions can cause discharge from the ear with associated hearing loss and pain. This can be related to an ear canal infection or an infection arising from the area behind the ear drum or from a skin cyst formation. Treatment begins with appropriate diagnosis from an adequate examination.
