Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of light bleeding and pain in ears which is something you should be concerned about. It seems to be due to perforation of eardrum. You need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for perfect diagnosis and treatment. Avoid touching or pricking ears with any sharp object and maintain complete hygiene. Doctor may use pneumatic otoscopy for diagnosis of infection along with other tests like tympanometry, acoustic reflectometry or tympanocentesis. If infection will be there doctor may prescribe antibiotic course along with ear drops. For now take ibuprofen if not allergic or paracetamol for pain and swelling.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
