What Causes Sudden Onset Bleeding From Ears And Nose?

My son return home from his father s house n right away I noticed what appeared to be a dry speck of blood on his ear lobe, then I saw more directly on his ear when I looked in his canal it was completely black. .I got q tips n I couldn t even get to his hole in his ear at first, there was so much. .. finally I think I got the most of it. ..it appears to be very dark maybe blood. ..but now I m seeing that ear wax apparently can be very dark... his father of course said he didn t notice it at all. .. my concern,I guess is that Fri on the way to drop by son off to his father, he had gotten a random nose bleed. Never had one before. Wasnt much but when I wiped it, a small clot came to. I m just trying to figure if these two are from maybe the same thing n what that might be. He will be 3 in sept

Hello,

It will be great if I had a photo of his earlobe where the bleeding occurred so I could have a more clear picture of what happened. I understand your fears, but sometimes thinking negatively won't help. To me, if you suspect he has blood clots in the nose, then, should send him to pediatrician and get further investigations to exclude more serious issues. It is common for children to get hurt while playing. But we should ensure nothing serious is happening.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
