Suggest Treatment For Ear Pain And Sensitivity To Sound Due To An Injury
I accidently stuck a q tip to far in my sons ear and it started bleeding but even though the bleeding has stopped his ear is really sensitive to sound and he has sharp pains in it here and there what should i do. Should i wait till in the morning and see if its better and send him to school if it is or not send him to school and take him to a doctor?
There is a chance of tympanic membrane rupture / perforation. Kindly take him to ENT specialist immediately. This need examination of ear canal and ear drum, as a perforated ear drum may need to be re-positioned and fixed. Meanwhile, give him paracetamol for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
