If (according to the GP) the eardrum hasn't burst. Is it possible the otoscope would miss a small tear because of all the dried blood and gunk.
The bleeding/oozing started just after I'd got antibiotics to treat his ear infection, would I be reasonable to go back to the doc. when the antibiotics have finished. He's complaining he can't hear which is due to the infection (I felt the GP was a bit dismissive bearing in mind this is a 7yr old with previous history of glue ear/burst eardrum/hearing loss but maybe I'm not being fair), anyone else had similar experience?
