Need help about my possible ruptured eardrum?

ok so sunday (its now friday) i cleaned my ears with a q tip, and with in an hour or so i had the worst pain!! it was on 10/10 scale! i knew i should of went to the ER but i have been sick for a while with the flu, a sinus infection, and sore throat, so i thought it was a ear infection of some sort. the next day the pain was gone, but my hearing is almost gone it that ear! its scary! ever since twice i have had drainage from my ear and it had blood in it. i went to the doc, he couldn't tell if it was torn but said i have those symptoms and most likely it is. so i have to go to an ear,nose and throat doc. well the soonest i can get in is in two weeks!! im so scared, can't hear and its driving me nuts, and i've done my research. come to find out about infections and permanent hearing loss if left untreated. do you think its to late for me to go into the ER now? help in anyway you can, im a nervous reck!!
