Why Was My Ear Bleeding After Cleaning It With A Q Tip?
i was cleaning my left ear with a q tip, i didnt stick the q tip in too far to my knowledge but a few minutes later i stuck my finger in my ear and it was bleeding profusely, i am in no pain but it has not stopped bleeding or let up on the bleeding for hours now, am i ok ?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bleeding after cleaning your ear with q-tip which seems you caused injury to ear drum. You should not leave it as such as it could impact your hearing.I would suggest you to put otogedic ear drops and do warm saline gargles. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get otoscopic done and start treatment after proper diagnosis.. Avoid touching or pricking it.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
