5. Discharge of pus
Discharge of pus is a moderate symptom you will have when you have swimmers ear. This is a sign that you need to seek medical attention right away. Pus shouldn’t be coming out of your ear. The hearing specialist will examine your ear to see what is going on and give you some antibiotics to help with the swimmer’s ear.
You will need to take the antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor. If you stop taking them too soon, the symptom will come. It may come back worse. There may be some damage from allowing the swimmer’s ear to go on for so long. If there is any damage, you may have hearing loss. When you see pus coming out of your ear canal, don’t mess with it. The more you mess with the ear canal, the more damage you will do. Home remedies are not going to work in this case.
