General & Family Physician, Dr. Arunmozhi Varman's Response

Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

if you do not feel any hearing problem or pain or bleeding or discharge from you ear rite now. can wait for some time before consulting doctor. the bleeding may be due to injury to the side wall of the ear canal.

Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.

Best Regards!
