Hello
I am Dr Ravinder Sharma ENT surgeon. On the basis of information provided it appears that you have perforation of drum and you are suffering from chronic suppurative otitis media. Common symptoms are off and on ear discharge and gradually progressive hearing loss. It is of two types - safe and unsafe. Blood stained discharge is not a good sign and is usually associated with unsafe type of disease where bone erosion is common
I would advise you for ENT consultation. It is not appropriate to advise medicines as I do not have any idea about the type of disease you are suffering (safe or unsafe)
Treatment involves medical treatment (to make the ear dry) and surgery
I hope this answers your concerns. Feel free to contact me if you want further information about it
With regards
