hey Chucks wife, lol

it sounds like your ear drum may have ruptured.

our oldest daughter (and myself) have dealt with it numerous times and have scar tissue and loss of hearing.

Its been a number of years, but my first instinct is to NOT put anything into your ear at this point and if taking a shower or washing your hair, place a cotton ball in the affected side and coat the outside with vaseline to keep water/bacteria from entering.

ours always healed up on their own, but can leave scar tissue as mentioned above.
I'd take extra vitamin c or other immune supporting herbs when it would happen to us to help lessen ear infections.

there are other problems that can cause drainage from the ears, but without an injury of some kind it sure sounds like a ruptured ear drum...
