If you experience persistent ear discharge during your UPSC medical test, it is important to inform the doctor conducting your exam as soon as possible. Depending on the type of ear discharge, there are a few different procedures that may be recommended by the doctor.

If the fluid from your ear appears to be bloody or contains small debris, then it’s likely that you have a ruptured eardrum due to an infection. In this case, you may need to have additional tests conducted along with antibiotics to treat underlying infections which can cause a ruptured eardrum.

If your fluid appears clear and doesn't contain debris, then it's likely that you are experiencing Otitis Externa or Outer Ear Infection (OEI). This condition is quite common and is caused by either bacteria or fungus in the outer part of the ear canal, leading to inflammation and drainage. Treatment with topical antifungal or antibiotic ointment is usually recommended if OEI is suspected; however long-term treatment may be necessary due to recurrent infections in some cases.

Additionally, other tests such as audiology screening can also be conducted in order to confirm any hearing loss associated with these conditions which can affect your performance at UPSC exams should they exist.

Ultimately, consulting an ENT specialist would help provide better insight into what type of procedure would best suit your individual situation so make sure not neglect seeking professional advice for more effective diagnosis and treatment when facing persistent ear issues before taking up any major fitness activities like those required for UPSC examinations!
