Perforated ear drum for about a year. On and off fluid and pressure but more fluid and pressure recently. Used to play water sports which I believe began the problem but I have not been going underwater for some time and their is still pressure and discharge and my ear is still perforated. Yellowish discharge which I believe is possibly pus or just white blood cells killing off the bacteria. I drink a lot of green tea and I smoke marijuana.
hello, thanks for your query, ear drum perforation with active discharge on & off since 1yr ,reactivating with swimming, water per ear(bath) , common cold and smoking suggestive of chronic ear infection should be evaluated for cholestatom( bone eroding disease) by otoendoscopy, ct temporal bone and audiometry. u may require surgery. kindly evaluate with ent surgeon for farther evaluation and treatment. all the best. take care.
