Treatment: Was the fluid from aspiration of material behind the ear drum or from the canal? The results indicate staph bacteria, rare unidentified gram negative rods and a fungus. A topical treatment for canal infections and an oral antibiotic is advised for the middle ear infection. Please provide additional details.

Missing information: The most important part is missing here as to what your symptoms were and what was found on the direct exam of your ear. Test results cannot be treated, they are only used in formulating a diagnosis.
