Have Tube In Ear. Prescribed Antibiotic For Bleeding Ear. What To Do?
I have a tube in my right ear. For the past 3 weeks it has been bleeding profusely. The last time I went to the ER they just gave me an antibiotic and sent me home. I m concerned because the last time this happened in my left ear I needed surgery. I don t have insurance and not sure what to do at this point. There has not been any injury to my head or anything of that sort. Just kind of started.
