#asktheexpert Night before yesterday while cleaning my daughter ear with cotton swab it struck the inside ear and started to bleed. yesterday we checked with ENT Specialist, she said there's a cut in ear canal and cleaned up her ear. Today, although my daughter is not complaining about any pains, I saw few amount of blood near her ear. Does a ear canal injury bleeds for few days till it's healed? Why bleeding and when it stops?

A. should stop soon. best to show a specialist. he will diagnose n find the root cause only as that's best ok. try to avoid self medication as that can be deleterious in long run as well
