Rubbing alcohol: With an eye dropper mix a solution of half rubbing alcohol and half clean water. Drop or two in your ear, the alcohol will help evaporate the water.

I think I may've punctured my ear drum on Saturday morning. I had blood thru the day on Saturday, but has stopped now. I had a RN friend of mine look at it Sunday morning and everything we could find on line is that it should heal itself, and to not let water get in it.She asked some of the people at the hospital that she works with and they said the same thing. I don't want to go to doctor because of the Covid stuff nowadays, so was hoping you could help. punctured ear drum?
