A member asked:
What can i do if my eardrum is bulging and is there any way to clear my ear now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not easily: If your ear drum is bulging from an infection or fluid, the only way to clear it immediately is to have it drained by an ENT specialist. Occasionally, the ear drum will rupture if the infection causes enough pressure. Most will resolve with antibiotics, time, or both.
