Suggest Treatment For Clogged Ear

I went running this evening and when I got home, I felt like my right ear was clogged, like when one has been swimming. After a shower, I gently stuck a qtip in my ear and found frank red blood. I waitied about ten minutes and while it was not leaking out of my ear, another dab of blood. What should I do?

Hello. You may have scratched your external canal and that isn't too serious, but you should have a doctor take a look to make sure there's no ear drum perforation here.
