A member asked:
Ear infection-severe pressure pain-bleeding-then no pain. cannot hear at all. er doc could not see problem with ear drum- could it still be ruptured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
DEPENDS: An adult ear drum is easier to evaluate than that of a kid and less often obscured by wax buildup or debris in the canal.If the ER doc saw the ear drum a even a small rupture is relatively easy to spot.The smaller ones can heal quickly, but that would take a minimum of several days.A Q-tip placed in the canal during the process could have scraped the wall=blood.
