Concussion and blood in ear canal

2018-10-04 23:33:27
I got a concussion on Sunday (today is Thursday) and at the time was given a CT scan and told there was no damage to the brain or bleeding anywhere. Today when cleaning my ears with a q-tip there was a small amount of blood on the end, is this something to be concerned about?

This could be dried up blood from the concussion you had before. But if there is persistent bleeding you should visit the ER at the earliest.
