I was using qtipsearbuds to clean my ear canals and might have gone in too deep because when I pulled it out, it was bloody and now my ear hurts. Could this mean I ruptured my eardrum? What should I do about it?

I'm dealing with an issue where there's a gap in my left vocal cord. The good news is that it's still vibrating, but this gap has been causing hoarseness in my voice for about a year now. My doctor suggested I take Neurozan to help strengthen my veins, and just to note, I don't smoke. I'm curious if there are other treatments or options I should consider?

Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle
