Ear infection, fever, pus from ear
I mistakenly scratched my ear . ear infection occurred and I was having pain in my ear . after that I went to hospital and doctor gave me ear drops and antibiotics . after 1-2 days there is pus in my ear (pain is gone and there is light fever). He also reffered me to enot. I am worried whether pus formation is OK or not

Pus formation in ear is not normal.it indicates bacterial infection.it could be furuncle/ otitis media with perforation.. visit an ENT specialist for proper assessment and treatment.
