hi, my son is 2 years and 2 months old. on Monday the 9th of May 2011, he took a cotton board and put it inside his ear, we heard him shooting an saw blood running out of his ears. It was late at night no doctors were available so we applied some Anti-biotic and pain medicine. The following day, the only ear specialist we had in the country was out of the town, so i took him to a child care center, this time the doctor said he could not see inside his ear as it is filled with blood,so a medicine to clear/clean the blood for 2 days. After 2 days, when i took him again, the doctor said there are some damages in his ear so he referred me to another ear specialist. The following day again, this other specialist is out of the country and will not return till Monday the 16th. So i had to take him to another Child Doctor again because my son was crying pain whole night. This Doctor after examining his ear he told me that his ear drum is burst, she gave me Metronidazole syrup and Dalacin 75mg, for the infection to cool down. I have an appointment with her again on Tuesday, If she is not satisfied with his ear again, she said she will send him a an ear specialist. Please advice
Hello, Ear Chat Doctor.  Sometimes it heals by itself. But proper treatment is necessary otherwise hearing impairment can occur. Consult ENT specialist as soon as possible, until then starts Burden syrup to overcome pain, send CBC to check infection. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
