Yes indeed, the fact that its not draining away might mean there is still an
infection and something needs to be done or the deafness could be permanent.

After a recent viral infection I find that after the little nasty had
attacked my tonsils, chest and given me a slight fever, it left me with
fluid (pus I would guess) in my middle ear which is proving remarkably
reluctant to drain away. The effect is like when you get out of a
swimming pool and find you have water lodged in one ear. The difference
is, you can't clear this in the same way as it's behind the ear drum. I
first noticed this 8 days ago. Any suggestions as to how to get rid?

After 8 days I'd be back at the Dr's.

Chewing chewing-gum may help to open up the passages.
