Not to worry...it sounds as though your boyfriend has a boil in his ear (furuncle) very painful and may take another 3 or 4 days to settle. Don't worry about the change in colour of the discharge, it is of no particular significance. If your GP is interested, perhaps a dressing of antibiotic drops in the ear would speed things up.
Thank you very much sqad, I really do appreciate you taking the time to post this. Hopefully he'll be feeling a lot better by the weekend.
I hope you stick about Sqad, I always enjoy a chat with you and I can assure you that its not only me that will sorely miss you if you decide enough is enough x
Hello Sqad (sorry CAJ1 for butting in) although I'm not a regular ABer I do have a look every evening - glad to see you're back, I for one have missed you and your sound advise.
Just an update, he went to the doctors again this morning as he still can't hear out of his ear and has a sore throat now too. Apparantly its a viral infection that is doing the rounds and is highly infectious...hope I don't end up with it!
