Is Hydrogen Peroxide Given In Case Of Ear Pain And Ear Bleed?

My son had went swimming and his ear stereo hrting bad. His mother (I m the step mom) pourer hydrogen peroxide in his ear and now it swelled up. I told him to hold his nose and breathe like to make it pop to see if he feels air coming out. He does feel air. Was it safe to pour the hydrogen peroxide in his ear with a perforated ear drum? His ear is swollen, the hyrdogen peroxide made his ear bleed and he has hearing loss in his ear. What would be te next step and how bad ks it that the hyrdogen peroxide was poured into a perforated drum?
