Feeling Of Eardrum Going To Explode While Burping After An Injury To Ear. Pulsing In Eardrum. Should I Go To A Doctor?
i got slapped in the ear twice from a fight i got into and now every time i burp it feels like my eardrum is going to explode... after the fight i felt my eardrum pulsing but that s the only uncomfortability that stopped about an hour later. i m wondering if there s something seriously wrong with my ear or if there can be any serious consequences if i don t see a doctor...?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
It seems that there has been an internal bleeding in the inner ear with a raised pressure inside. You need to consult an ENT surgeon for an examination and proper management. Surgical drainage might be needed in some cases.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
