Ear Pain, Popping Noises, Muffled Hearing, Ear Drainage, Bleeding. Ruptured Ear Drum?

I went to the er early this morning for my ear. He said I had an inner ear infection. I got home and went to sleep and i got awaken by horrible, unbearable pain, along with loud popping noises. I was screaming at the top of my lungs and crying uncontrolably it was hurting so bad. At this time I couldnt hear anything out of this certain ear as when I went to the er, it was only muffled. When I went to my regular doctor and she said that I have an outer along with an inner ear infection, and that the only thing she could see in my ear was puss. Now my ear is draining and it looks bloody, so I googled it and it said that it may be a symptom of a ruptured ear drum. Do you think that when I woke up with a horrible pain that my eardrum was rupturing? She gave me some pain reliever drops and they arent helping im still in pain and I cant hear anything out of that ear. All I hear is a ringing noise. Please help.

THE MIDDLE EAR INFECTIONS CAUSES THIS THE FLUID PUTS PRESSURE ON DRUM CAUSING PAIN AND ULTIMATELY WHEN THE DRUM CANNOT WIHSTAND THE PRESSURE IT RUPTURES AND FLUID AND BLOOD IS OUT FROM MIDDLE EAR
NOISES ARE DUE TO BLOCKAGE
TAKE CORRECT ANTIBIOTICS FOR 7 DAYS
CAN ADD SHORT COURSE OF STEROIDS TO BE TAPERED IN 2 WEEK IT WILL CLEAR OEDEMA OF DRUM FAST
ADD ANTIALLERGIC FEXOFENADINE 120 MG BD FOR2 WEEK
LIQUID ANTACID BD TO COUNTER ACIDITY
ANTIBIOTIC EAR DROPS TO CLEAR THE PUSS
AND PREVENT WATER IN EAR
IT MAY TAKE 2-3 WEEK TO COME TO NORMAL AFTER THE EPISODE
AS THERE IS ACUTE PROBLEM AND RECENT PERFORATION THIS WILL HEAL OF ITS OWN AFTER PRECAUTIONS AND RX
