Head Injury & Ear Bleeding: Urgent Medical Attention Required

Seek immediate medical attention if you've hit your head and have ear bleeding. A doctor must rule out serious injury (CT/MRI may be needed) and may prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection.

Immediate First Aid

• Apply pressure to bleeding ear with clean cloth/bandage.
• Elevate head and shoulders.
• Take OTC pain relievers (ibuprofen, acetaminophen).
• Avoid blowing nose or sneezing (increases ear pressure).
• Stay hydrated.
• Rest.
