Do I have anything to worry about when the doctor touches my ear while cleaning it?

Patient's question:

I feel that when the doctor was cleaning the child's ears, the 1-year-old toddler struggled and accidentally bumped into the doctor's instrument. I'm worried if the instrument might harm the child's ears. From what I saw through the scope, there were red blood vessels, but I'm not sure if it's something to be concerned about.

Doctor's answer:

In the case of a baby with red blood vessels inside the ear, it is normal for them to appear when the baby moves. If there is no bleeding or pain, it is nothing to worry about! It is recommended to carefully examine the ear after the procedure and pay close attention to any signs of ear pain, discharge, or bleeding. If necessary, a follow-up examination may be required. This is the advice regarding the question "I'm worried that the doctor might have touched the ear during the cleaning, will it cause problems?" It is hoped that this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
