    Default MOMS! i need your help!

    tonight my son got out of the shower and his dad cleaned his ears out with a qtip.well he was complaining that his ear hurt and when i looked there was blood in his ear. i asked if he could hear, he said yes, i asked if it hurt anymore (after i cleaned it out) he said no. well 10 mins ago he said his ear hurt again so i look and there was a little more blood! i called the er, they said they can't determine unless they see him. they also said if it was worse to call the family dr. what i want to know is is there anything over the counter for this, or has this happened to any of your children? what did you do?

    Personally, I would take him to the ER right now. I wouldn't take any chances with blood coming from a wound you can't see.

    Good luck and keep us posted.

    Yep. Take him to the ER. Don't try and treat it yourself, because there's no way to tell what it is. It could be a really bad ear infection, and for that he'll need strong antibiotics, but he needs to see a Doctor ASAP, infection or not.

    Good luck to you. Please let us know how it goes.

    He could have a really bad ear infection, my daughter had this happen when she was smaller, and her ear bled, but go to the ER... only a trained health professional will be able to determine the cause...

    Good luck, and be calm, children sense their parent's fear or over-concern and it causes them to freak out...

    Go to the ER. He probably had an ear infection that ruptured the ear drum. While the ear drum can heal itself, the infection needs to be looked into.

    Don't ever fuck around with the ears. If you see blood coming from the ear, that's a bad sign.

    Also, you should never try to clean a child's ears yourself. Their canals are shorter and it doesn't take much to puncture the ear drum. If the child is complaining about the ear hurting, you can flush the ear to make sure that there is no wax against the ear drum, but don't ever, ever, ever stick a qtip in the ear, that far again. Not good.

    Go to the ER/Doc immediately!! Let us know how everything turns out!

    Ack! I totally missed the part about the Q-Tip. They should never be used on children. Wiping with a washcloth is more than enough.

    A ruptured eardrum is almost never a big deal.
