What could be the problem if puss comes from the ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Myriad: You need to be seen by an ent. Pus from the ear canal can be an ear canal infection, an acute middle ear infection with a perforated ear drum or chronic infection through a perforated ear drum. It can also be due to a cholesteatoma which can be dangerous if not checked.
