Non stop its been relentless. Is there any hope of clearing this up? Thank you s for any help !
Dear patient You have got acute on chronic mastitis. This condition is characterized by discharge from ear and behind ear which is recurrent.  It may remain silent for months and recurs when you get common Cold.  This should be investigated with X-ray of skull anteroposterior and lateral views to assess mastoid status.  Best treatment is surgery to clear infection.  You need to consult expert ENT specialist nearby your area and get yourself examined and investigated.  All the best.
