Should I Be Concerned About The Bleeding From The Ear Which Is Due To Cleaning Deep Into Them?

Hello, I was using a cotton q-tip when it slipped deeper in my ear and now I am bleeding minor from my ear for about 3 minutes. I have not experienced hearing loss or significant pain. It hurt for maybe 20 seconds and now its okay. Just worried about the blood. Should I be concerned?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to micro trauma.

I suggest to avoid using the q tips.

Meanwhile,I suggest using ear drops with antibacterial properties that can be found over the counter.

In case of pain,I suggest to consult a ENT specialist.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
