What Causes Small Amount Of Blood That Came Out From The Ear?

My son aged 2 and half has put a rounded cotton bud in his ear. He screamed and cried for a very short period (2mins) and then I noticed a small amount of blood came out which has now dried up. Should I be concerned? He seems perfectly fine in himself now, not even touching his ear so assuming there is no pain - doesn't seem to have hearing loss and his balance is fine. Happily playing. Thank you

Hi
Welcome to the HCM

I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Don't worry. The minute bleeds can occur due to capillary rupture which seal spontaneously in such incidents. It won't harm him in any ways.

Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care
