What Could Relive The Pain In The Ear Caused Due To The Q Tip?

Wow!!! Dont have much time, & didn t even know someone would monitor my question...My 37 yr old daughter was cleaning her ear & obviously put the q tip in too far because it hurt immediately. Now she has pain, intermittently, & I ve noticed that cold air worsens her pain symptom. She does not take care of herself, so thats why I was doing research. I m concerned that she might have punctured the drum, &/or now has an ear infection. I advised going to the Dr. but she hasn t, so until that happens, I was looking for alternative treatment for her.
