Hi,

Recurrent ear bleeding may be due to ASOM with recurrent infection or it may be possible with glomus tumor of the ear.

First of all, you have to avoid entry of water into the ear while bathing. Keep the ear always dry. Avoid cool drinks and cold water. Use water vapor inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days.

Use tablet Amoxiclav. Use tablet Montelukast and levocetirizine.

After infection healed you may get repaired for tympanic membrane. Please consult your ENT specialist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
