I have clear liquid draining from my ears

My ears just started draining a clear liquid. Saw my primary care dr. She prescribed a steroid ear drop and 2.5% hydrocortisone cream for my ear lobes which had crusted up from the drainage. I originally thought it was coming from my lobes because I had worn pierced earrings I hadn't worn in a long time. But I also wear hearing aides so reading some of the previous posts was interesting regarding possible cause and effect. I hope what the doctor ordered works for me. Just concerned about the sudden drainage.

Hi, You should be concerned about the drainage. I've had ear infections my whole life since I was in first grade.They really suck when your a kid.My drainage ended up 6 months later being antibiotic resistant bacterial infections. 2 of them. Please don't wait! I have to see an infectious disease dr now as they are staph infections, which I never even knew what they were before I got them. I had heard of them of course, but.... Lots of clear fluid mostly at night so in the morning before work, it's another morning ritual to clear it away so I can wear my hearing aid. It started in one ear and spread to the other which I haven't had problems with since they did 2 surgeries to repair my hearing in that ear but totally killed any hearing I did have. Since then, I never had any problem, I guess I thought it was because the nerves were dead. I'm sorry you are going thru this, but I'm glad to read that I am not the only one with this problem. I thought I might be a hypochodriac or something.
