Otitis externa?: Probably you had a small abscess in the ear canal, now draining -- in which case, it's good news and your pain and other symptoms should get better soon. However, there's a chance it's from deeper in the ear, which might be more serious. Get in touch with the doctor treating you. Good luck.
