Brief Answer:
This may be caused by an infection! Please, get the ears examined!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about the pain and drainage that you have reported. I will suggest that you add ibuprofen to Tylenol for better pain control. These symptoms raise the suspicion of a possible ear infection that may require antibiotics. Talk to your doctor and get the ear examined as this would be very important to confirm the diagnosis and probably give a script for antibiotics.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
