Hello,
Yes, it can cause illness.
Bead stuck in ear can cause lack of ventilation in middle ear, can lead to colonization of bacteria, leads to ear infection which can cause pus. It may lead to fever, ear ache, sleep disturbances, lack of appetite.
Plan for early removed of bead, also may require antibiotic treatment if any infection is there.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
