Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain blood over the ear buds with a history of ear pain during sinusitis can be due to ear infection leading to inflammation inside the ear..
A mild stimulation that is being touched with ear bud can lead to bleeding..
I would suggest you to consult an ENT expert and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis..
In case if there is infection he can advise you antibiotics and anti-inflammatory painkillers..
Antibiotic ear drops like Gentamycin can also be advised..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
