I had a very bad ear infection for a few months. I wad referred to ENT where a consultant on a few ocassions deep cleaned my ears. I thought that was all behind me but now I notice brown ear wax stains on my pillow. I had my procedure about one month ago. Is it all starting again. Thank you

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your problems.
There is a recurrent ear infection and when referred to an ENT, he cleaned it. Now you are noticing brown wax stains on pillow.
This must then be liquefied wax only.
If the problem is recurrent and with pus formation, then only further tests of CT scan of the mastoids is needed.
Also check your Blood Sugar.
I hope this answers your query.
