Earwax with a touch of blood

If a cotton swab is placed in the ear and bloody earwax comes out, it means there is an ear hemorrhage, that is, blood leaking from the ear. The causes can be various, such as over-cleaning, a violent blow, an infection such as an ear infection, or even the presence of a tumor. In any case, immediate consultation with a doctor is recommended.

If you notice brown earwax after cleaning your ears, the cause is likely overproduction of earwax. This means you’re feeling very tired and your body is fighting off invading germs and pathogens. Take care of your immune system with a varied and balanced diet, regular exercise, hydration, and adequate sleep.
