My belly button is slowly bleeding 10 days post op after cleaning it, could Motrin be the cause?

sunshine1008
My belly button is slowly bleeding 10 days post op. It started a couple days ago after I cleaned it out with a Q tip and I think a scab came off. I started motrin that day as well and took it the next day. Could the motrin be aggravating it more? Should I just stick to Norco until it scabs up again?
