Dear- thanks for using our service. Your fiance is having an ear infection that is causing the yellowish pus-discharge from it. It is important to see his primary care physician or ENT for a complete otoscopic exam and probably cleaning of the ear canal, followed by oral antibiotics to clear the infection.It is advisable to be seen as soon as possible because these infections can create long term problems and damage of the tympanic membrane,with hearing deficit.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
