you are suffering from acute on chronic suppurataive otitis media. which is very common, if someone swims in dirty contaminated water. it can lead to perforation of tympanic membrane also. for stopping it you have to take Tab augmentin(1gm) twice daily for 5 days, ear drop ciprofloxacin 2 drops 4-5 times daily and Nasal drop xylometazolne (1%) twice daily. and consultation of an ENT surgeon is required.
