Hello,
Inserting Q tips again and again is not good for health. Don't use them. Your not giving much time to heal what the injury previously. Usually ear buds not advisable. If you feel the same even after 3-4 days please take to ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
