Hi, Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.
I understand your concern. See, probably you have injured the external ear canal while cleaning his ear. Dont try to clean ear with an ear-bud or q-tip further. It is unscientific and a blind procedure. So there is every chance of injuring the ear canal or even the ear drum. Anyways, it does not seem like anything serious. But it is not possible to confirm without an examination. I would suggest you to take him to a physician and get properly checked for safety.
Hope i have answered your question. If you have any further questions i will be happy to help. Regards
