ear infection, how to get puss out?

[richcorsavxr]

last night my right ear became infected but the puss or fluid won't come out. it feels like i've been swimming and the waters stuck. now should i worry about it? should i attempt to get it out i.e. pop my ears and hope it comes out (which i tried unsuccesfully) or just leave it and hope it goes away? i've been given antibiotics by the doc but she was unclear on the trapped fluid.

appologies for sentence structure/ spelling and so on, i've been awake for 45 hours and its the least of my priorities

I thought you'd got a cat in your ear

Straw... try to spit rather than swallow the resulting fluid!

How do you know there is fluid in there? Have you had any discharge?
Sticking anything solid deep into your ear is going to cause more harm.

i had an ear infection a couple of years ago, loads of the stuff came out my ears. it feels like a build between my ear and neck, i presume is fluid.

thanks for the other replies sadly i only have a disney straw with to many bends in to fit down my ear..

Try putting your finger on that little bit of cartilage at the front of the ear and wiggling it about, that clears it for me so I can hear properly again.
