A member asked:

Cleaned my ear and had blood on q tip. now short stabbing headache and dizziness that won't go away. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dizziness: The dizziness suggests damage to the inner ear. You must get a hearing test ASAP and if there is a difference in the two ears, see an ENT. In the meantime do not blow your nose try to sleep with the effected ear up You may have ruptured the round window of your inner ear.
