I'm a bit concerned because after getting the wax cleaned from my ear, it's now bleeding. The doctor mentioned there might be a little blood, but should I be worried if it's more than just a little? What should I do next?

After cleaning the wax, it is normal to experience some bleeding. You can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin on the affected area to prevent infection and promote healing. You can also use a sterile gauze pad to apply gentle pressure on the area to help stop the bleeding. If the bleeding persists or worsens, please seek medical attention.
