Could I Have Damaged The Ear?
I was cleaning my toddler's ear with a qtip and I accidentally went in a little deep and he cried for a good few minutes. This evening I tried to clean it and I noticed dark blood on the qtip. I hope I have damaged his ear and cause permanent hearing loss on that side.

Hi...please do not panic. Hearing loss will not occur like this type of injury. But I suggest you consult an ENT surgeon right away. Your toddler needs medical attention and evaluation.
