What Does Bleeding Through Ear After Poking An Ear Bud Mean?

I was cleaning my ears after my shower this morning and I accidentally poked the Qtip in way too far. It happened so quick and it really hurt. It has kind of been achy all day, and just now I felt something and a small amount of blood is coming out. Am I ok??????

Hi, As per your clinical history it appears as you are having trauma while cleaning ear.
Keep ear dry & donot allow water inside during bath. Stop using Qtip. For pain take paracetamol.
If you donot get relief , ENT examination become essential..
Thanks
