Hello Rebecca. The yellow discharge from your nose could have been due to infection or chronic common cold. It is common knowledge that infection turns the secretions yellow. But a clear yellow discharge may not necessarily mean infection . Long standing cold can lead to thin yellow discharge.
An ear discharge is drainage of blood, ear wax , pus, or fluid from the ear. Most of the time, fluid leaking out of an ear is ear wax. However, discharge may also be caused by minor irritation or infection. A ruptured eardrum can cause a white, slightly bloody, or yellow discharge from the ear.
