Why does water come out of my ear?

Why does my ear have pus and blood?
Severe ear infection: Middle ear infections can cause pain, temporary hearing loss and fluid from the ear. Bleeding is a common ear infection symptom. Eardrums can rupture as a result of an ear infection because the infection can cause fluid or pus to build up in your ear.
How do you treat ear pus at home?
Mix equal parts apple cider vinegar with rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol). Apply 5 to 10 drops in each affected ear using a clean dropper bottle or baby syringe. Cover your ear with a cotton ball or clean cloth and lean on your side to let drops enter and sit in the ear. Do this for about 5 minutes.

How do you get air out of your ear?
Try forcing a yawn several times until the ears pop open. Swallowing helps to activate the muscles that open the eustachian tube. Sipping water or sucking on hard candy can help to increase the need to swallow. If yawning and swallowing do not work, take a deep breath and pinch the nose shut.
