How is otitis media treated in nursing women?

Ask
Hello doctor! I have had an ear infection for almost 10 years now. In the past, there was only occasional discharge of pus, going to the doctor and taking medicine was all. But in the last 2 years, I have been having frequent pus discharge, taking medicine does not go away, the pus has a bad smell. Lately, I've found my headphones to be worse. The doctor told me that I am currently breastfeeding and can't take medicine, what should I do? I hope you can give me some advice, thank you.
