How To Treat The Sore Throat And The Light Bleeding Caused In The Ear?
I had a sore throat yesterday and the previous three days.....then last night the soreness went away but after my shower I had bleeding in my ear on the same side.....lots of blood. Should I go see my MD? His next appt isn't until the 30th - is that too long to wait?
I have gone through your query regarding sore throat followed by bleeding from ear.
As you said initially you were having sore throat for three days, it favours that during this period pharyngeal infection might have blocked the eustachian tube or infection may also reach directly to middle ear via this eustachian tube and ultimately acute otitis media had developed. Acute otitis media is an acute infective disease and the blood mixed serrous fluid is now draining from your ear, for that you are saying as light bleeding.
4- Keep ear clean and dry (don't put any ear drop)
5- Antibiotic (preferably broad spectrum).
Certainly above treatment will give you much relief but if relief is not upto satisfaction level than consultation with your ENT doctor will become essential.
Regards.

How To Treat The Sore Throat And The Light Bleeding Caused In The Ear?
Hello Welcome in H.C.M. I have gone through your query regarding sore throat followed by bleeding from ear. As you said initially you were having sore throat for three days, it favours that during this period pharyngeal infection might have blocked the eustachian tube or infection may also reach directly to middle ear via this eustachian tube and ultimately acute otitis media had developed. Acute otitis media is an acute infective disease and the blood mixed serrous fluid is now draining from your ear, for that you are saying as light bleeding. You may take now- 1- Steam inhalation & warm saline gargling. 2- Tab Paracetamol. 3- Anti histaminic. 4- Keep ear clean and dry (don t put any ear drop) 5- Antibiotic (preferably broad spectrum). Certainly above treatment will give you much relief but if relief is not upto satisfaction level than consultation with your ENT doctor will become essential. Regards.
