What should be done when a ent cleans out someone's ears and they start bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not uncommon: A small amount of bleeding might be no big deal since the ear canal is lined by thin, extremely sensitive skin. I would certainly let the doctor who did the cleaning know immediately and probably go back and allow them to take a second look to make sure there is no problem.
