Pus in the ear is a discharge that is typically thick, yellow, or green, and indicates an infection or inflammation within the ear. It is most commonly observed in the middle ear, known as otitis media, or the outer ear canal, referred to as otitis externa. The presence of pus often signifies that the body is fighting an infection, and it can be accompanied by other symptoms such as pain, fever, hearing loss, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. Common causes include bacterial or fungal infections, which can lead to pus formation as the body responds to the infection. In otitis media, pus may accumulate behind the eardrum due to an infection in the middle ear, often following a cold or respiratory infection. In otitis externa, pus results from an infection of the ear canal, often due to water exposure, trauma, or foreign objects. Treatment for pus in the ear involves addressing the underlying infection. For bacterial infections, antibiotics either in the form of ear drops or oral medication are often prescribed. If a fungal infection is suspected, antifungal ear drops may be used. Additionally, cleaning the ear canal by a healthcare professional can help remove pus and debris. Pain relief can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications or prescribed analgesics. Maintaining ear hygiene and avoiding inserting objects into the ear can prevent further irritation. If symptoms persist or are accompanied by severe pain, hearing loss, or fever, it is important to seek medical attention to ensure proper treatment and prevent complications.
