Good morning, ma'am. You have done well with nasal hygiene, it is the first line of treatment. However, the presence of discharge from the ear is beyond what can be addressed without a medical evaluation. You will need to see a doctor to assess your situation and, if necessary, not delay the right treatment In the meantime, you can continue nasal hygiene, and give Tylenol or Tempra for pain if needed. Sorry I can't be more helpful at this time, Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
