ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hi, You have removed the insect foreign body successfully but with the cost of damaging your ear drum or its surrounding it seems. At least now its the time to visit ENT doctor before you do some self medication because ear drum perforation has to be dealt by the specialist differently. There may be some remnants too. take care.
