Sorry about the incident.

This is what you need to.
1. Get a syringe (without the needle)
2. Fill it water
3. Forcefully flush water into the affected ear

This would flush the insect out.

Awwwwww embarassed..

Cotton swabs should be banned as they have done more harm to our ears than good angry..

Ggggrggghhh!!! The feeling of an insect in my ear scares me already embarassed.. The discomfort would be unbearable...

@ Tegak10,

Manage and sleep tonight, and hit the hospital tomorrow to see an ENT doctor..

Stop the self medication before you damage your drum, and don't forget to fling your swabs sad..

That shit gave me sleepless nights from Wednesday to Friday..

Ur not supposed to put cotton buts in ur ears anyway. They are actually for baby's fingers

What to Do If You Think There's a Bug in Your Ear

Any arthropod in your ear is a medical concern, because it can scratch or puncture your eardrum or potentially cause an infection. Even if you succeed in removing the critter, it's wise to follow-up with a visit to the doctor, to be sure your ear canal is free from any bug bits or damage that might cause problems later.


DO NOT let the person put a finger in the ear, since this may make the insect sting.

Turn the person's head so that the affected side is up, and wait to see if the insect flies or crawls out.

If this doesn't work, try pouring mineral oil, olive oil, or baby oil into the ear. As you pour the oil, pull the ear lobe gently backward and upward for an adult, or backward and downward for a child. The insect should suffocate and may float out in the oil. AVOID using oil to remove any object other than an insect, since oil can cause other kinds of objects to swell.
Even if an insect appears to come out, get medical attention. Small insect parts can irritate the sensitive skin of the ear canal.

damn. I feel ur pain bro

this same thing happened to me at night class during preparations for my ican exam

each time the insect kicked or scratched my eardrum, it felt like my head was going to explode. I think I used a cotton wool to remove the insect after close to 6 hours of torture.

Trial and error is all I can prescribe but be careful with your eardrum ooo.

It once happened to me. You can use any available oil. Pour in a generous quantity, allow it to flow in properly, then lie down on the other side, facing the ear down so it can flow out with the insect.

Use olive oil not groundnut oil. If you don't have any go to any chemist or store where you can get. Pour a generous quantity into the affected ear and let it flow out. Make sure you visit an hospital first thing tomorrow.

*edit*

I just saw your opening post where you said that it is raining where you are. Call out to your neighbours, they should be able to help.

He can use vegetable oil too na. The idea is to suffocate the insect if it is still alive and immobilise it. Then few drops of warm water is to be added to the ear and gently shake your ear lobe to hopee for the best. This is reall discomforting! Cotton swab is a bad idea. Sorry man.
