Description
Jacob Cabrejas and Wesley Eilbert present a 2026 case report of a man with ear pain and blisters on his eardrum. The 45-year-old had three days of left ear pain and muffled hearing, after a day of cough and congestion. He had no fever, and exam showed blood-filled blisters on his left tympanic membrane, the eardrum.
The diagnosis is bullous myringitis, an acutely painful condition where blisters form on the eardrum, often alongside a middle ear infection. It mostly affects children and often follows a viral cold. Pain usually settles in one to two days, and hearing loss is temporary. Treatment uses a systemic antibiotic such as amoxicillin or azithromycin, the authors note.
