What Are The Side Effects Of Poking Of Q Tip In Ear?
my 3 yr old was trying to clean his own ear with a q tip then bounced on the bed and it poked in, im not sure how far it went but he screamed and snatched it out immediatly so i couldnt see how far it possible went but i checked his ear when he calmed down with a clean q tip to see if he had any bleeding or if he would scream if it was touched, its already near bed time but he wasnt sleepy a few moments ago now he is trying to lay on me and go to sleep, other than that he seems ok, should i be worried, should i go to er or just make a docs appointment tommorow

Hi. dear,
I had gone through your question and understand your concern. You should be worried ,but not too much .The most common complication is infection, that's why I suggest you to drop Cyprofloxacin 4 drops in ear.
Wishing your child good health
