Suggest Remedies For Painful Ear And Nausea Due To Pushing The Q Tip Too Far In Ear
I was cleaning out my ears with a q-tip and I pushed it in a little bit too far. When it happened, it sounded like my ears were popping but a lot louder. Now, my ear and throat hurt. It really hurts when I swallow or yawn. I fell nauseous. There is nothing coming out of my ear. What could be wrong?

Hello,
Excessive pushing in of Stop seems to have injured eardrum. The infection might go to the throat via eustachian tube causing you-all the symptoms.
You need antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs with inj. Tetanus toxoid. Please consult an ENT surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
