What Causes Searing Pain In The Ear?
Sometimes when i use a q-tip i go to far and i get a searing pain. It fades really quickly but comes back momentarily when i burp or yawn deeply. I know now not to use q-tip IN my ear. I don t think i ve ruptured my eardrum but it still hurts. It usually goes away after a day or to, but i want to know what it is. Can u help?
