Will Ear Heal Itself After Bleeding And Pain Due To Q Tip?

Hi I was cleaning my ears with a qtip I pushed it in deeper on a accident. When I took the qtip out I saw a small drop of blood.I was in pain for a while. the pain was going away little by little. I feel like my ear is clogged but I can hear out of my ear what do I do? Does it heal itself?

hi and thanks for the query,
you may have injured your ear canal or drum or both.
injuries of the canal and the drum heal very well.
do not worry,
see your doctor to know the nature of injury.
till then keep your ears dry and do not try to clean your ears.
in future never put anything in your ear to clean it, ears do not require any cleaning.
regards,
dr Rajkishori.
