Introduction
In general, ear pain with bleeding and ringing in the ear may be caused by factors such as otitis media, auricular hematoma, traumatic eardrum injury, or other conditions including acute external otitis, external auditory canal papilloma, and myringitis. Specific diagnosis requires a thorough evaluation at a hospital, followed by treatment according to medical advice. Prompt medical attention is essential to avoid delaying proper management of the condition.

Generally, ear pain with bleeding and ringing in the ear may be caused by factors such as traumatic tympanic membrane injury, otitis media, or external auditory canal hematoma. Patients should seek symptomatic treatment under medical guidance. Specific analysis is as follows:

1. Traumatic Tympanic Membrane Injury

Traumatic tympanic membrane injury refers to a condition in otorhinolaryngology where the eardrum is damaged due to direct or indirect external force. Main symptoms include sudden ear pain, hearing loss, tinnitus, minor bleeding, and a sensation of fullness in the ear. In such cases, patients may take medications such as amoxicillin capsules or sodium oxacillin capsules under medical supervision.

2. Otitis Media

Otitis media involves inflammatory lesions affecting all or part of the middle ear structures. It causes ear swelling and pain, possibly accompanied by fever, ear fullness, hearing loss, or tinnitus. These symptoms arise from pressure changes in the middle ear cavity due to inflammation of the Eustachian tube. Treatment may include medications such as amoxicillin capsules or azithromycin capsules, taken under medical guidance.

3. External Auditory Canal Hematoma

An external auditory canal hematoma occurs when blood vessels in the ear rupture due to external force, causing blood to accumulate between the skin and cartilage of the auricle, resulting in swelling. When the hematoma ruptures, it can lead to bleeding, pain, and tinnitus. In such cases, medications such as cefaclor capsules or levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules may be used under medical supervision.

Besides the three common causes mentioned above, similar symptoms may also result from acute external otitis, external auditory canal papilloma, or tympanitis. Specific conditions require thorough evaluation at a hospital, followed by treatment according to medical advice. Prompt medical attention is essential to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
