I was cleaning my ear with a QTip and think I went too far because it started bleeding. It hurts now, but I can still hear okay. Should I be worried, and what should I do about it?

I've had a voice disorder since birth due to a cleft palate, and my speech isn't clear nobody understands me. I've tried speech therapy multiple times but nothing changed. Could there be an underlying vocal issue surgery might fix? I don't want more therapy if it hasn't helped before. What options do I have to improve my voice clarity?

I'm experiencing some discomfort and it's a bit puzzling. Whenever I move my lower lip to the left side, I feel pain in my ear and right above it. It's a similar kind of pain that I get while chewing, though that's a bit milder. Could this be related to something specific, or is it just normal muscle pain? I'm curious if this is something I should be concerned about.

according to my opinion you have to consult ENT speciality for the same
