What Causes Drainage Of Blood From Ears Along With Hearing Loss?

Good afternoon sir. I just wanna make some enquiries. I got slapped heavily(at my right ear) 3 days ago and immediately I noticed I couldn't hear clearly, but over time, I started to hear sounds faintly, when I tried to block my left ear and concentrate on the right ear to know how good I can hear sounds, I noticed my hearing ability was improving steadily. Not until I was having my bath and water went down my ears, I felt the blockage again. I tried to sleep at night with the affected side turned down. I felt a sensation on my head, like when a drum is being beaten on my head, but it's just a temporary sensation. Afterwards, I noticed water coming out of my ear, I got hold of a cotton swab to clean my ear and I noticed a small blood stained the cotton swab, it stopped few minutes later. But the problem is I can't hear faint sounds as before, I can hear though. Please i need your help, what do I do?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it seems like traumatic injury to ear drum leading to perforation and due to it there is reduced hearing as well as tinnitus that is hearing spontaneous sounds..
You should not delay and immediately consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can be diagnostic..
In case of small perforation antibiotics like Augmentin, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Motrin or Aleve, steroids and decongestants will relieve..
You should also avoid exposure to very loud sounds as well as do not try to pop your ears and also avoid swimming if you do..
In case if it still do not improve surgical treatment is advised..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
