Is It A Matter Of Concern To See Little Blood On Cotton Swab?
My son was wake boarding today. He fell hard several times. When he showered and swabbed his ear w a q tip the tip was a little bloody. Just a hint of red. He can hear out of it but it is a little muffled. He is 18 years old. Does he need to see a doctor? He is in no pain.

Hi,
Yes, he needs to see a doctor. I have gone through your query; it suggests that your son may be suffering from the Q tip injury.
He also avoids putting water, oil, bud and medicine in the ear.
Thanks
