Hello, i happened to have a very itchy ear. so, i took a q-tip and i think i went too far with it. i felt pain for a couple of seconds, followed by some blood on the tip of the cotton. i do hear fine, but now i feel a slight ache. what do i do?

Exam needed: Itching of ear canal combined with some discharge is consistent with otitis externa, treated with ear drops containing antibacterial,antifungal and anti-inflammatory ingredients(cortisone type) such as cortisporin otic. However since you drew blood and have earache, an examination of the external and middle ear via an otoscope is recommended to look for significant trauma to the ear canal and drum
