I am 15 year old male. My right ear has this foul smell. It doesn't seem to smell like ear wax. I have been having this for the past 2 months. To check, I wet my pinky (as it fits) and dip in water to try to catch any weird substance inside my right ear but I don't find anything. What is the problem and what should I do about it?

This need check up from ear surgeon becoz this may be due to the erosions of the ear bone and may be problematic, so before it harms you get consultations from ear sp, than revert back.

Hi If you have never experienced� this problem, then you need to start� *an antibiotic� immediately.� *A decongestant� medicine *Avoid water entry in the ear. *Avoid shampooing for atleast 10 days till the�ear discharge�dries up. *Get a Pure tone audiometry and tympanometry done. These tests can detect ear drum perforation. Otoendoscopy� may also be done Ear discharge�may occur due to acute or chronic otitis media. Your symptoms� appear to be of Acute otitis media. In this case�ear discharge�occurs after a small perforation� in the ear drum due to pus buildup.� But if you have had the problem previously� too it may be due to Chronic otitis media. In that case you have to also start an ear drop and may need surgery.
