How To Cure Bleeding Of Ear Noticed During Cleaning?

Yes, please. Thanks so much for being there. About 4 hours ago my mom had ear wax removed from her ears. she is is 87 and has had this done several times before by the same ENT doctor. He used a long metal tool. Withing the last hour, she has a small amount of blood coming out of one ear. She is on blood thinner. When we called the dr s office, nobody there except a machine. Should we be very worried & take immediate action. like emergency room, or just wait until tomorrow. It appears she is not in much pain. She had a stroke & can t talk to tell us. and had expressive ephasia (spellin?) Thanks for any advice.
