What Causes Blood In The Ear With Slight Pain?
Hey doc, basically I was cleaning my right ear with a Q-tip earbud. When it was in I made it go down to which I felt pain for a few seconds, to which the pain is now longer there. However when I do check with a Q-tip there is blood (not alot to cover the whole tip) I figured it may not be that bad, as I ve looked around on the web to which I am still able to function/touch my ear without pain occurring, only that it feels like there is water inside.

Hello
Please please do not insert any dam thing in your ear. During my teaching we were told that " do not put any thing in your ear except your elbow if it is possible". For now keep your ear dry ....no ear drops. Start tab levocetrizine at night for a week. If pain increases add a painkiller and consult a ent.
