Reason For Bleeding Ear And Foul-smelling Ear Discharge?

I burst my eardrum a week ago and I'm on antibiotics to prevent infections. At first I had blood coming out of my ear, now it's watery smelly liquid that sometimes looks Brown. Have my antibiotics not work, and might I need something to drain the liquid in my ear?
