Suggest Treatment For Ear Pain And Blood After Cleaning With Swab

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Hi.

I was cleaning my 8 year old's ears with a cotton swab when i noticed some blood on the cswab,. He had felt an initial pain, but then after 10 minutes complained that he could not hear too well through that ear. I put some eardrops as he had no pain.

he felt better after an hour or so. Did i damage his eardrum?
