Suggest Treatment For Severe Ear Pain

My husband had severe ear pain for about 2 hours - I put a heating pad on it to help him relax - and something released inside and there was small amount of bleeding coming from his ear. The pain went away when it started bleeding. The bleeding has stopped, I cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide. He has had a cold for a couple of days as well

Hi,

As per your query you have severe ear pain which is because of ear infection which sometimes remain persistent and leads to recurrent otitis media and ear pain.

Need not to worry. You should do warm saline gargles and take steam twice a day and apply warm dry compresses to external ear. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis.

Doctor may examine by otoscopic means to check level of infection. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics (amoxicillin or penicillin) at least for 10 days along with decongestant and anti inflammatory medications.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari,
Dentist
