Hi,

Do not worry, avoid drops or water into the ear, keep the ear dry. That is more than enough. Also, visit your ENT specialist after a week.

Hello.
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
The burst ear drum happens mostly due to infection and there is usually no bleeding on burst ear drum. Since the drum has burst last night only, it will heal on its own with the help of antibiotics.no discharge will hurry up the healing process.
