What Causes Postauricular Blood Oozing After Tympanoplasty?
My 5 y/o had a Tympanoplasty about 1 week ago and the postauricular incision (behind the ear) was doing great until earlier today we noticed a slight bit of blood and oozing at the postauricular incision site . It has stopped. Should this be a concern?

little bit of bleeding can occur in the first few post operative days.
see the doctor if it recurs.
