Question

There was a little blood she can hear her balance is fine her ear hurts of course, i gave her sachet of calpol which has eased her pain. The question is should i take her to hospital she is 5

Answer 1

Bleeding of any kind is not to be ignored, specially when it concerns sensitive ear parts. Take her to a doctor.

Answer 2

I would take her to the hospital or to your doctor just to make sure that her ear is okay.  My daughter did the same thing with a button and I took her to the doctor just to make sure that she was okay.

Answer 3

perforated ear drum is my best, ear problems happen at a young age, yeah see a doc but I'm sure it's nothing serious.

Answer 4

I would definitely get it checked out.  The ears are delicate instruments.

Answer 5

Go right away just to be sure because her ear drum or something could have ruptured

Answer 6

If it seems like the blood is from a cut inside of her ear, then you probably don't need to. But if there's probably no cut in there, this is really bad. When people's ears bleed it's a sign of damage to the brain in some way or another, and in that case, you should bring her to the hospital immediately. If she has a headache that may mean it has something to do with her brain.

Answer 7

I would unless you see the ear is clearly from the skin of the ear/cut or something. If you don't see the location and looks like it's coming from the inner ear, i'd take her in. You could have punctured the tympanic membrance (or ear drum).  

Answer 8

she could've punctured her ear drum.. or perforated it... either way.. blot can clot and cause hearing loss. see an ENT.. ear nose throat.. or.. otolaryngologist

Answer 9

i would as you can never be to sure!

first ring up your doctors to see if they have an out of service surgery.
