Suggest Treatment For Clogged Ear
I went running this evening and when I got home, I felt like my right ear was clogged, like when one has been swimming. After a shower, I gently stuck a qtip in my ear and found frank red blood. I waitied about ten minutes and while it was not leaking out of my ear, another dab of blood. What should I do?
