an insect is in my ear

it started around 8

I put water inside and then hydrogen peroxide.... I lied down face down..
I put a cutton bud inside(bad move))

I think the insect crawled inside more... is there anything I can do to sleep/remove the insect... I can't go outside rain is falling... I can only go to school clinic tomorrow... please anything to make me sleep



should I add water again
.....pour a small amount of olive oil into the ear....it wld kill the insect and prevent it moving around...then after a while add a little amount of warm water then tilt ur ear and shake ur head...the insect shld come out now....dont hit ur ear and dont use any tool or cotton bud...u wld just end up pushing it inside....

Awwwwww embarassed..

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

Ggggggrrrhhh!!! 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..

I'm not a doctor but just want to give this advice because if it was me I would use same method. It won't be wise for you to kill it inside there especially if it's big else it would decay there and that won't be nice too and could cause infection. I would say scare it out of the place by putting a grease that has menthol there like aboliki not that you should put it directly but put it on cotton stick and insert it in like you want to remove ear wax. I think the menthol will make it to look for an escape root and find its way back out. Or bend the ear downward and beat it gently.

I've had an insect in my ear b4. It was irritating. I felt all the crawling.
What I did was not safe and I don't recommend you do it.
I cut the tip of a short broom stick and meticulously use it to stir the insect out
. Make sure the broom stick is a smooth one at the edge so as not to Pierce ur ear drum. Use it to press the insect to the wall of ur ear till it dies. Then gradually and carefully draw it out with Broom stick.
Please, be carefully o. Make sure no one is near u to avoid any accident.
Don't with use cotton bud or match stick. It will only push it further. The olive oil is good too. Or a fairly hot water. Anything to kill the insect fast is what you need.
Good luck

Pour some drops of pure honey in your ear. It will take care of it.

Re: Insect Inside My Ear Please Help by Blurr(m): 10:50pm On Sep 04, 2016

Spray insecticides into the ear..... Simple. The idiot will die. Then, wash ur ear with soap and water. Shikena

this is Ilorin.. all shops are closed by this time....


I added hydrogen peroxide earlier.... the insect isn't moving as frequently as before but it's still not letting me sleep. I'll visit a doctor tomorrow I just need something to help me get through the night...


I think it's not as deep as t was earlier.. when it moved currently it doesn't disturb as it did earlier
I remember when I was little and an ant entered my ear, a drop of ogogoro(dry gin) was poured into d ear and left there for some minutes and Later I turned my ear down to allow the gin pour out and the ant came out with it dead....so u can try the gin if u have any.
Re: Insect Inside My Ear Please Help by Originalsly: 10:53pm On Sep 04, 2016
Op...never ever put anything in your ears. Your ears supposed to have wax inside to prevent such insects from causing any damage or living in your ears. By morning it would be dead... or find its way out. If you are the "clean type" that be digging out the wax..... you really have a problem.

Re: Insect Inside My Ear Please Help by dotun365: 10:54pm On Sep 04, 2016
Put vaseline in your ear. it should cause the insect to begin to suffocate and try to come out. Pears baby oil should do just fine too I think

......you are probably not aware that by looking for an escape route, the insect can wander deeper into the inner ear.....
