How Can An Ear Canal Abrasion Be Treated?
Information
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
The bleeding could be from an abrasion to the ear canal, but it could be from a punctured ear drum as well. The only way to know is to take her in to be seen by a doctor who can look insider her ear with an otoscope. So take her in to be seen, as it is important to know if the ear drum is punctured. If it is, it will heal, but you will want to take precautions while it is healing.
For the future, I generally recommend that for babies and toddlers, not to go digging in there. For little kids who have a problem with ear wax accumulation, I recommend Sweet Oil. You can drip it in the ear, and then just leave it and wipe away the oil from the outer ear when it drips out. No need for Q tips or irrigation. And it is safe for babies.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if I can provide further information.
