Ear infections in Adults

I’m putting this in ask an Aussie because the other countries seem to have different protocols with GP’s and ear infections..

I’m 33 female, and I’ve got my first ear infection as an adult. I’ve been taking amoxicillin for a week and although the pain is gone from my left ear, I’m still oozing discharge from it every day… is this normal?

As a child I had multiple ear infections and many grommets and my left ear is scarred and very deaf.. my right is absolutely fine.

The Dr also told me ear infections in adults are super rare, but just this week I’ve heard of multiple adults having ear infection after influenza A (which I had 3 weeks)… my question is how long did it take for your adult ear infection to heal up? Did it still ooze out the ear?
