I had infection from childhood and got operated for mastoid about 45 years ago. Recently I had developed swelling and pain in the ear. Doctor gave me clotrim to clean the ear and later gave me soda glycerin and then kunoxy drops. But bleeding has started. Please advise.
Hi. Post operative mastoid cavity may develop some granulations due to infection. These granulations along with congestion in surrounding tissues may cause ear bleed. Ear examination and cleaning under operating microscope will confirm the cause of ear bleed and also help in its management. Thanks.
