Having Cold. Blood From Ear After Itching, Blocked Feeling. What To Do?
Hi, I have a cold a few days ago and during that time my ear was sore, unsure why but last night I was itching my ear with my finger and all of a sudden I could hear like a 'hissing' noise in my ear then I noticed a little blood came out my ear. This morning my ear feels blocked. I'm not in pain but it is uncomfortable. What do I do?

Hi, you have cold few days ago, ear itching,and sour, hissing noise in ear, little blood came out of the ear, ear blocked, and uncomfortable.
Due to cold there is otitis media, and blockage of the eustachian tube , otitis media, and perforation of the ear drum, hence the blood and blockage. don't worry it is common.
I advise you to consult a E.N.T surgeon, avoid taking fruits, juices, and allergy containing foods.
You can use erythromycin, decongestants, and ear drops with the advise of your doctor. Thank you.
