On the second, third and fourth day of taking Phosphorus 200, I had watery discharge coming out of my left ear. On the second day it was very high discharge and stopped by the fourth day. It has deposited on the mouth of the ear and hardened.

There was a feeling that I had a bubble in the ear. Just now the ear is clear, only the deposit at the ear is irritating.

Later, my ENT diagnosed a discharge from the right ear and she said it is external otitis. I have a bubble feeling in the ear. Was prescribed 5 days of antibiotics and genticyn ear drops.

After all this, still white flakes are coming out from the ear.
