Ear discharge is a common symptom of ear infection. It is usually a yellowish, greenish, or whitish fluid that drains from the ear. As the infection worsens, the discharge can become thicker, darker, and smell bad. Ear discharge can also be accompanied by pain, itching, and ringing in the ear. It can develop rapidly or slowly, depending on the underlying cause. It can be a sign of a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection, or a buildup of fluid in the ear.
