What Causes Bleeding From Ear In A Child?
Tonigh my wife was cleaning my 27 month old baby girls years, when our daughter moved suddenly and then we noticed it began to bleed. The bleeding was controled by placing a tisue over the ear and then we flushed the ear with water twice, unti the water was clear again. What do we need to be concerned with and should we take her to the ER? She cried for a short time and also during the flushing of the ear with water, but is no longer. She appears to be ok, but we are concerned.
