Suggest Treatment For Bleeding From Ear Caused By Severe Infection

I keep ear infections and they normally get so bad that what ever ear its in I end up not being able to hear out of it till its gone. But this time I can't hear out of the ear and I can't here out of it but I've noticed blood once I've woke up blood will be dried on the outside as if its drain thru the night should I have this check with my primary care provider or just use the drops to get rid of infection

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have severe infection in ear and bleeding seems to be due to inflammation inside the ear canal leading to bleeding..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and along with a thorough clinical evaluation he can also do an Otoscopic examination and treatment can be planned accordingly..
In case of infection only ear drops will not help and along with antibiotic and steroid ear drops, you will also be advised oral antibiotics for faster resolution of infection..
You should also prevent picking the ear with ear buds..
Avoid excessive water exposure to the ear..
In case of clogged feeling avoid popping the ears as it can damage ear drum..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
