is it possible to have dried blood on the eardrum of a toddler? or could it be a perforated eardrum? There was nothing, then significant pain, then after applying some essential oils around the exterior of the ear, and taking a homeopathic remedy my son was able to sleep soundly the entire night without waking. It is NOT normal for him to be able to sleep soundly while having an ear infection.
