Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have blood in ear along with pain which could be because of trauma leading to ear canal injury due to q tip insertion.

I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist and get complete examination done with otoscope and can start treatment accordingly. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics, anti inflammatory medications and corticosteroid ear drops in case of infection. For now apply warm dry compresses and take proper rest. Do Not touch or prick ear with any sharp object.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
