Bleeding From Ear, Had Put Cotton In Ear, Fell Down On Sofa. Anything To Worry?
hello doctor My son put cotton buds in the ear and then he fell on the sofa with the bud on his ear. After that he is bleeding from the ear. I took him to the emergency unit yesterday, One nurse checked him and she told us like it will heal eventually. It happened yesterday, today also I found that he is bleeding from the ear. Its not bleeding heavily but it comes out sometimes. I do not know what to do. He is 4 yrs old now
Hi, It appears that he might have small scratch in external ear. Nothing to worry, crust will be formed and he will be alright. Do not try to clean the ear. If require put some antibiotic ear drops. Ok and take care.
see your child can have some trauma in external ear or in the tympanic memberane.in both cases nothing can be done.they will heal by itself.but get once your child properly checked if needed thn some medicines can be given to him accordingly thn.these kinds of trauma sometimes can cause serious damage to ear so better avoid them.
