Yes, see ENT: Sounds like the drum remains open. An ENT dr can discuss with you options for restorative surgery and health maintenance.

See an ENT: I agree with the other md. See an ENT doctor. Drainage from the ear is not normal. The ENT doctor can evaluate for a continued hole in the ear drum and treat the infection (drainage). You also want to rule out other problems like a cholesteatoma (skin ingrowth into the middle ear) which can lead to long term problems.
