Redness In The Ear Of Toddler After Poking Q Tip, Got Penicillin Shot, Later Bleeding. Is It Fine?
My toddler grabbed a qtip and poked it in his ear this a.m. And was screaming took him in they said ear drum looked fine but really red maybe infected. I didn t think so since he just injured it today i am sure it is from the qtip but they gave him a penicillin shot and we went home. Now tonight he is sleeping and I noticed his ear is bleeding is it fine since they checked earlier or can damage come later after an injury ...
