Stopping an ear injury from bleeding involves covering the injury with a sterile dressing and applying cold compresses.
Steps to Treat a Bleeding Ear Injury
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cover the injury with a sterile dressing, shaping it to the contour of the ear. Tape it loosely in place. |
| 2 | Apply cold compresses over the dressing. This helps reduce pain and swelling. |
| 3 | If part of the ear has been cut off, preserve the detached part for potential reattachment. |
Additional Information
- Using a sterile dressing helps prevent infection.
- Cold compresses should be applied gently to avoid further injury.
