What Should I Do For The Bleeding In My Ear?

I cleaned my ear too hard with a Q-tip and now it's bleeding. The blood is not coming out of my ear. The blood can be seen on a Q-tip if I put it in my ear. I don't have any pain. I'm not able to get to a doctor for a few weeks (I'm traveling). What should I do?

Hi,
It seems that you got some minor scratch or soreness due to q-tip giving this problem.
Now do not clean with q-tip for few days.
Put antibiotic ear drops 2-3 times a day for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
