What To Do If Hurt Ear Drum And Is Bleeding After Inserting A Qtip?

Hello! I was cleaning my ear and accidentally pushed an entire cue-tip half way in my ear. Into the upper part of the ear deep inside. It is bleeding. When it happened i felt a sharp rush of pain in the entire eardrum, and down my face.. muffled sound for a few moments however seems to be getting somewhat better. Still is bleeding VERY deep inside but not enough to run out. I tried popping my ears when the sound was muffled and had a VERY sharp pain in my eardrum. I have no insurance and can not afford to go to a dr Will i bleed to death? Is there something i should need to know to alert me of a large and bad rupture? I am scared. . Please help! Thank you!!!

Hi, Welcome to health care magic forum.
As you describe,it is concerned with the skin around the ear, the nerves, and the ear as a whole. It may lead to the cellulitis as a whole.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms injection of tetanus toxoid,ofloxacin,ornidazole, serratiopeptidase, and diclofenac sodium.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

HI
Thank for asking HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to your history chances of internal ear injury is very likely, in my opinion it is better to consult the ENT surgeon, hope this information helps you take care and have nice day.
