Blood in Ear????Help

I just cleaned out my ears after having some minor ear aches for a day or so. My boyfriend cleaned my one ear out and went in a little too far. I then just put a q-tip softly in there and I was bleeding in my ear. It scares me because I have had chronic ear infections and did have tubes in my ears. Does anyone have any ideas for me I did not know where else to go. Should I be alarmed or call my doctor tomorrow?? Am I in any danger? Sorry for this I just am a little scared. Any help would be so greatly appreciated, all you guys are the best!!! :). Thank you so very much!!!!!

Love,

Morgan

Hi Morgan, I to am like you and have had my fare share of ear aches and infections. My best suggestion for you is to keep your eye on it and see if it gets any worse, if it does call your doctor. I say that due to having once had a scratch in my ear that got infected, which caused my ear tissues to swell up horribly. Also never use Q-tips to clean your ears or at least that is what all doctors will tell you and I know how hard that is to obey. LOL You also might ask your doctor for some ear drops that can be used to remove waxy the better way with it draining the wax out of the ear instead of you having to dig it all out. Hope nothing goes wrong for
