Pus discharge even 40+ years after a mastoid operation is usually not considered normal, especially if it happens repeatedly or has a foul smell. In many older ear surgeries, a mastoid cavity was created, and over time it can collect debris or develop chronic infection. Some people ignore it for years, but persistent discharge often means the ear still needs treatment or regular cleaning.
It’s best to get the ear checked by an Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) specialist. They may suggest ear cleaning, medicines, or further evaluation depending on the condition of the ear. Symptoms like pain, dizziness, bleeding, or worsening hearing should never be ignored.
