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.

Hello
well , there is no alternative treatment and she should show her doctor as soon as possible as it is likely that she has damages her ear drum. please ask her not to delay and keep the ear dry.
