HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If there is a persistent discharge or odor then you likely have an infection that needs treatment.
Especially in light of the additional symptoms of sore throat and ear ache.
It would be best to visit your doctor for assessment which would include examination of the ears, nose and throat.
A swab may be done to determine the exact organism causing the throat infection.
I hope this helps
