Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
it seems you are suffering from CSOM
avoid head bath (maximum once in a month you take head bath)
avoid exposure to cold as far as practicable
see that water does not enter into your ears
take an antibiotic amoxycillin+clavulanate (500+125) twice daily for 5 days
any URTI immediately take treatment
consult ENT specialist once in 6months
if no improve ment you have to undergo myringoplsty on the advice of ENY surgeon
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Take care
