Noticed Dried Blood In The Ear Canal After Putting Some Hydrogen Peroxide Into The Ear

My ear became pressurized after blowing my nose and began to hurt. Then, I took some hydrogen peroxide and put a little in the ear canal. lastly, I took a q-tip and tried to clean out as much peroxide as possible but, possibly might have went to far in. The next day, I noticed dried blood in the inner ear canal and I have spongy hearing like water in it nut, does not hurt.

What would you suggest to do? serious or not serious

Hello

It does look a bit serious and you may have possibly damaged your ear drum with the q tip
Please dont use them and keep the ear dry. Please meet your ent doctor for confirming this!
Perforations of the drum , generally heal fast, so you dont have to worry too much!
Take care!
