i was cleaning my rt ear, with a Qtip, when all of the sudden i was experiencing pain,and i had a kleenex that had blood on it, it was not gushing, and it has hurt a little bit. i have a history of ear infections, eustatian tubes x 13 sets. and i am deaf in left ear. also i am traveling to washington soon, which is higher elevation than where i live, just wanted to see if that is safe?
