Sudden ear problem

Out of nowhere! I took a nap and felt that fullness/pressure in my bad ear. I'm bilateral.
When I got up it felt worse and then I felt like fluid was leaking out. I gently used a q-tip and the color was a reddish brown. Now my ear feels clogged. My jaw even is a bit sore.

Any ideas

 

Called ear Dr left a message. Called primary for referral, left message. Around my ear feels numb.

 

Would an ear infection come on suddenly like that? My ear is making bubbly noises.

 

Went to ER because the pains started shooting down my jaw. Yes, it's an ear infection. I got an antibiotic and antibiotic drops. They said if it continues to ooze blood to come back.
Thank you all for your kind words.

 

G? Thank you

 

Blood always scares me, lol. Feeling better already. Maybe the Aleve is as good as it says!

 

LOL! Baby on your lap again? So sweet!

 

I hope none of you ever get an ear infection but if you do and the Dr gives you an oral antibiotic, insist they give you antibiotic drops as well. I've done the drops twice and already I feel so much better.
