Otitis media is an infection of the middle ear. The middle ear is the area right behind your ear drum. Often these infections are caused by bacteria creeping up your throat through the eustachian tube. The eustachian tubes keep pressure from building up by letting air move in and out of your middle ear through your throat. Often the infections are caused by Strep.

It is an infection of the middle ear, which is a general DX. Your ear started bleeding because your ear ruptured. your ear drum that is and that is very common as well. It means that your ear does not allow fluid to drain out the proper way it's suppose to. In kids it's common to have tubes placed in their ears. Use your ear drops/anti-biotics to the T. You'll feel better in a few days.
