What Causes Pain In Ear Post Head Injury?

Hello I banged the front right side of my head on Wednesday quite hard yesterday I started with ear ache it was really painful this morning it s still bad I have put olive oil in on some cotton wool and there was some blood on there when I removed it could this be linked to the bump on the head? Or just part of a cold? Many thanks

Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
How trivial a head injury may be you have to be very cautious in observing certain things after the trauma. Since you do not have any history of losing consciousness, no vomiting, no headache but you started getting severe pain in the ear with bleeding so the cause of bleeding and ear ached should be properly investigated.
kindly consult a surgeon for proper assessment and treatment.
Regards!
