What is wrong with my ear?

Question

I've had some problems with my right ear lately. There's this liquid clear sticky stuff that comes out of my ear. Should I blot out the sticky stuff with a tissue or leave it alone? It smells kinda funny, too. I think that stuff dries into earwax, but I'm not sure. Also, the earwax in my ear is all hard and crusty instead of what it normally is.

Answer 1

I think you are having an ear infection.

Do not put any drugs or any objects to your ear without consulting a doctor.If you do so you may cause damage to your ear.

The nature of the infection has to be diagnosed; whether fungal or bacterial.

I am a medical doctor.
