Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pus discharge from a ruptured ear . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like otitis media , barotrauma , physical injury or acoustic trauma. I would suggest you to apply dry warm compresses externally and keep it dry while bathing . Consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may examine ear with otoscope along with imaging techniques . Doctor may prescribe other antibiotics along with anti inflammatory or may recommend tympanoplasty . Sometimes infection travel from upper respiratory track to ear through eustachian tube , so doctor may also examine throat bu ordering throat swab test or viral culture test.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
