My left ear is swollen and leaking fluid: Just had deviate septum surgery. (Photos)

I think you should see your doctor about this. If you  have ear cartilage use as graft  material, this might be the cause.

Thanks for your question. Did they perform any procedures on your ear like getting a cartilage graft? If not, then it sounds like you have an outer ear infection which is likely unrelated. Considering seeing your primary care doctor for antibiotics or a ear nose and throat specialist. Good luck!

If no surgery was performed on your ear at the time of your nasal surgery it is most likely not related to the surgery.You should follow up with a Ear Nose and Throat physician for further evaluation.
