What Could Cause Slight Bleeding In A Child's Ear?
My son shoved a q tip in his ear just a little past the cotton part and when i pulled it out it had blood on. His ear was bleeding for a minute but not a lot of blood. It stopped and he cried but now asleep. I called our dr. But no return phone call. Should I take him in?

Hi,
Nothing to worry, there might behaving some minor injury in external ear giving rise to some scratch on ear wall causing some bleeding.
Put antibiotic ear drops.
If pain is there in the morning then consult your doctor.
do not put q-tip again to clean or to see the condition in ear.
Ok and take care.
