I used a Q-tip to clean my ears this morning and accidentally went too far into my right ear. It hurt a little at the time. This was around 5:45 a.m. After getting to work, I went to scratch my ear as it was itching and found blood on my finger. Looking in the mirror, I had blood running down my neck. I have put Kleenex in the outer part of the ear to stop the bleeding. It is now 1:50 p.m. The Kleenex is stopping the blood from running down my neck, but the ear is still bleeding. Should I be concerned or will it gradually stop?
Hello yes, i think that you should be concerned and meet your ent doctor as soon as you can. normally bleeding should stop within some minutes, but the fact that you are still bleeding is a cause for concern and you should meet your doctor as soon as possible. thanks
