Is Little Bleeding In Ear After Being Hit By A Wave In The Ocean Serious?
Hi, I was swimming in the ocean when I was suddenly hit hard by a wave. It was so hard that it blocked hearing from my right ear. After maybe 2 hours I finally laid down to let my ear drain. ( I got out of the water immediately and did not get back into the water) While laying down I could feel my ear starting to break (like fluid was on its way out). I started to feel relieved but then I grabbed a q tip to help quicken the process when after carefully cleaning my ear I noticed a little blood. Not enough to cover the q tip, but enough to make me type this out. Freak me out. Please, any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.
Generally this type of episodes happens because you have used ear bud to clean the ear without directly visualising which of course you can not, you injured your ear. Now if that was the only bleeding and you don't have any hearing loss or pain after the episode, you are fine.
