Detailed explanation-1: -Otorrhea is the medical term for ear drainage.

This connection can result from a perforation in the ear drum, or if an ear tube was previously placed.

Temporal bone trauma is the most common cause of acquired CSF otorrhea, but it may also arise secondary to neoplasms, infections, and iatrogenic causes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ear discharge, also known as otorrhea, is any fluid that comes from the ear. Most of the time, your ears discharge earwax. This is an oil that your body naturally produces. The job of earwax is to make sure that dust, bacteria, and other foreign bodies don’t get into your ear.
