Wax got flushed out?: One's primary care doctor can recheck to see what is causing the problem. An unusual ear discharge that is not merely oily wax, can be from deeper in the ear, meaning the middle ear space. A discharge can also be from the canal skin (called otitis externa). The treatment may be different depending on where the waxy stuff originates from. Sometimes occasional use of ear drops can help.
