Firstly I will start by apologising for the possible overuse of the word pus 
DS12 came down with what we thought was an ear infection / perforated eardrum about 2 and half weeks ago. GP couldn’t see eardrum but lots of pus and blood (sorry if TMI) so prescribed 5 days Amoxicillin. 5 days later more blood and pus so being the weekend went to out of hours GP - same thing couldn’t see ear drum due to pus so gave another 5 days of Amoxicillin. 5 days later, still more pus so back to GP. Gave clarithromycin which DS has an allergic reaction to, so we are now coming to the end of 7 days of Doxycycline and he still has loads of visible pus in his ear.
Apart from at the very start he really hasn’t had much of a temperature, and not much ear ache recently - although he did for the first 10 days. Unfortunately there is so much pus it’s blocked his ear it’s left him completely deaf (he normally wears hearing aids but can’t due to the muck in his ear, and it’s his better ear affected!)
So am I right to start wondering if this isn’t actually an infection?? In which case, what the bloody hell is causing all this pus?? ( and on 2 occasions blood)
We are waiting on results of ear swabs, hopefully tomorrow. I’m getting to the end of my tether, we fly next week and I could do with it being sorted by then.
Has anyone had anything similar that antibiotics haven’t touched and can shed light on what it could be?
I keep telling him his brain is melting out of his ear from playing too much Fortnite but he’s not falling for it.
Any ideas anyone?
