Hi,

If the boil has broken then the discharge seems to be due to pus. In case if the boil is broken then taking antibiotics orally and antibiotic eardrops can help in healing it well.

Also, the boil can be completely drained by the doctor to let it heal faster. Other precautions that you can take is to avoid excessive moisture exposure to the ears and also if you use earbuds be gentle and cautious.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
