Q: im having ear drainage and its yellow and brown and i have ear pain and it started out as having ear pain and itching now its draining i have a ear tube in that ear do i still need antibiotics if i have a ear tube would it cure me?

: This requires in-person care, ideally by an otolaryngologist (ENT specialist); ideally see the clinic or doctor who placed your ear tubes. This sounds pretty serious; do it ASAP. No distant forum like this can advise about the best antibiotic or other treatment. Good luck.
