Ear bleeding after gently blowing nose??

2018-01-19 14:28:54
I gently or at least thought I gently blew my nose the left side cause it was running and annoying me but as I blew it I heard a high squeak in my left ear and when I gently checked my ear with a Kleenex it was bleeding not just fluid but actual red blood and bled for 10 minutes... now my ear has stopped bleeding but feels warm and sensitive inside with a dull ache and my hearing on that side has progressively over the last hour become slightly deadened and not as sharp as my right ear ...????
