What Causes Ear Clogging Along With Drainage Of Blood?
I had my ear cleaned by a doctors nurse lpn, she used a water pik I woke up that night with blood coming from my ear and clogged up. The water pik pressure was to high I told her to turn it down and then she turned it to the lowest setting. Before I went to bed I sneezed woke up at 1:40 am with a ear clogged with blood and I went to the doctor he prescribed neomycin polymycin b sulfate and hydrocortisone There is so much pressure in my ear and it is painful. When will this heal and what can I do to help the pain.

Hi Dear
Welcome to health care magic team.
Understanding your concern. As er your query ear clogging along with drainage of blood seems to be due to ruptured or perforated eardrum. A ruptured eardrum is a cause for some concern because the eardrum is a natural barrier to germs entering the middle and inner ear. Ruptured eardrum will heal on its own within a few weeks, however, precautions should be taken to avoid infection. Bleeding from the ear can also be due to more serious conditions, such as a blow to the head or malignancy of the ear canal. You should contact your doctor if you experience bloody discharge from the ear after a fall or a blow to the head. You should consult doctor immediately after such incident so that u can rule out some serious life threatening condition.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
