Suggest Treatment For Ear Bleeding Post Earwax Removal
while my left ear was being cleaned at doctors office by a nurse, he stopped because he said my canal was getting to tender. He sprayed water in it a lot. The nurse practioner then checked my ear and stated the ear canal was bleeding a little which happens sometimes in cleaning because of the wax pulling away from it. She said canal now tender so they cannot get out the hard wax still in my ear. Said i need to come back in a couple of days to give ear canal chance to heal and then can get out ear wax. ive had my ears cleaned before by other doctors offices and never had this issue before so I am wondering if this is common
Dear Common cause of bleeding after wax removal from the the ear is injury to the skin of external canal.It is a mild form of injury to the skin,which will heal in 2-3 days.
In rare cases,bleeding might be due to injury to the ear drum,in which case you may be suffering from mild reduced hearing.Such type of traumatic ear drum perforation will usually heal within 3-4 weeks.
But ,it would be advisable to consult an ENT Specialist doctor for the examination of your ear.
You can take analgesic like Ibuprofen in case of ear pain.Don't use any instrument by yourself to clean your ear.Don't allow water to go inside ear.
please get doctor remove your ear wax instead of nursing staff.
take care
