Ear discharge: Can be due to a variety of problems. See below for general information: https://patient.info/health/earacheear-pain-and-other-ear-problems It therefore depends on the underlying cause of the discharge to answer your question re healing time. Recommend checking with the doctor who saw you and prescribed these drops for specific advice here.

The answer depends: on the cause for the ear discharge and what the doctor is treating. It could be an external ear infection, or a perforation from a middle ear infection, or a traumatic perforation (the 3 most common causes). Since I do not know which of these (or other) is the source/cause, I would recommend you speak with your treating doctor or an ear, nose, throat specialist for a more precise answer.
