How Long Will Middle Ear Infection Take To Heal?

I have been advised by my doctor that I have a middle ear infection with a slightly perforated eardrum. He used the otoscope to look in my ear Thursday and said it was healing but I ve woken up with blood on my pillow from my ear again. How long should the healing process take?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is perforation then this may need surgical implantation of tympanic membrane otherwise this wont heal on its own in my opinion better to have ENT opinion, hope this information helps, take care have a nice day.
