Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor (ENT) Questions Ear ache

Bloody Painful Earache

I’ve developed an ear ache that is extremely painful. My ear began making loud crackling and oozing noises which preceded clear liquid and blood to come out of my ear followed by intense pain. It keeps happening and my urgent care is currently closed. The ER would be really expensive but I’m not sure what else to do. Should I wait it out?

You need a prescription for ofloxacin ear drops for a suppurative otitis media. (ear infection with ruptured ear drum). 5 drops twice daily in the ear for 7 days at minimum
