Does Bleeding From Ear In Children Need Medical Attention?
I was just cleaning my 3 year old s ear after bath, was just cleaning the rim and I got bumped by my other child and it went in deep, then his ear started to bleed. Its been about 5-10 minutes and he is in no discomfort and the bleeding has slowed, should I bring him to get checked?

Hi welcome to health care magic....
Here your child having history of trauma by you while cleaning ear...
Bleeding occurred, so yes some form of injury might be there inside ear....
Your children otoscopy examination has to be done assess severity of injury...
Anti-inflammatory drug given like that of brufen for short time...
Injured area if small will heal by itself with time by healing process...
Take good and healthy diet...
Advise : For ear examination consult otorhinolaryngologist...
Take care
