Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child but don't worry about it.

Recurrent discharge from ear could be due to incomplete treatment, recurrent sinusitis or perforated ear drum.
Since, you have already given antibiotics for 1 week, you should go for pus culture from ear which will help us in starting correct antibiotics.
An examination by ent specialist to rule out perforation of ear drum is must.

I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.

Regards
Dr Deepak Patel, MD Pediatrics
