After using a q~tip to clean my ear, i woke up the next day with my ear bleeding and plugged. same as when water is in ear. how do i unplug ear?

Doctor: Given the bleeding, you really need to have a medical professional look into the ear with the appropriate equipment. You could have a perforated ear drum, which can create the sensations you're describing. It's actually best not to put anything in your ear, as it's very easy to tear your eardrum on accident!
