Pus smell after ear surgery
Dear sir, I had my left ear surgery (tympanoplasty type 3) 4 month ago. Now from 40 days a pus like bad smell comes with ear vax/fluid. I consult dr. but he is saying everything is normal . I just want to know why pus smell comes with ear fluid/Vax if nothing wrong there. Is there any chance of another infection inside and dr. is not able to detect . Or it is usual ?
