Hello,
Is it wax or ear discharge you must ask your doctor.
ear wax is brownish and is normally secreted and it gets removed on its own.
But if dry then to be removed by doctor.
greenish suggests infection and discharge. which indicates ear infection . for that you need antibiotic like amoxicillin which you took.
You should meet your doctor and get the ear cleaned and get the information about condition of your ear drum.
In doubt do reply
