If the ear is blocked by a blood clot, it becomes a foreign body in the external auditory canal, which can be handled by instrument removal, ear canal flushing and negative pressure suction.
1. Instrumental removal: If the blood clot is a patch or a small mass, it can be removed with instruments such as tweezers and cerumen hooks.
2. Ear canal flushing: when the clot is hard and cannot be taken out directly, under the premise of clear tympanic membrane integrity and healed external auditory canal, use sodium bicarbonate ear drops to soften the clot sufficiently and then use warm saline to flush it out.
3. Negative pressure suction: deeper clots or clots close to the eardrum that cannot be removed by the above methods can be sucked out using negative pressure suction equipment under endoscopic observation.
If your ear is blocked by blood clots, you need to go to the hospital and get standardized treatment after examination by a specialist.
