Hi Dear,
welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have ear infections with bleeding which leads to fluid accumulation behind the ear drum leads to reduced hearing tendency. It could be due to perforation or injury to ear drum or Eustachian tube dysfunction. I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated. You should go for otoscopy examination as well to find out cause and exact extent of infection. Treatment can be planned accordingly. Fly only after proper examination to physician. You need not get impatient. You should take antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs combination. For infection in ear antibiotic ear drops and decongestant nasal sprays can help. Draining of pus can also be done by physician. Maintain cleanliness of area.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
