What should I do for a runny ear without pain?

If you are experiencing a runny ear without pain, it is likely not an emergency situation. However, if the ear discharge is accompanied by symptoms such as redness, pain, fever, difficulty hearing, speaking, or dizziness, it would be best to seek medical attention promptly. An accumulation of earwax can sometimes cause minor discharge, but if the situation does not improve within a week, it would be advisable to consult a nurse or doctor for a proper examination and potential cleaning of the ear.
