Air Brush Drums
I hurt my ear really bad! Please help!?
I left a q-tip in my ear while i Put toothpaste on my daughters toothbrush and I forgot I had it in my ear. When I went to brush my hair out of the way I pushed it in further iwth my arm. It happened so quick but it really hurt. My ear rang and I wanted to cry. this was about 2 hours ago and it does not hurt anymore but it does sound like im under water and when I hold my nose and breath out I can feel air coming out of my ear. The left one, the one I hurt. could it be that I really caused some major damage to me ear drum or something? What should I do. Will it go away? Now both my ears feel like they are clogged. Could that be the imbalance now?
Emergy room can’t help you and won’t be able to do much except give you pain killers in your are in pain (which sounds NOT the case).
Call your family doctor (if you need a referral) or find an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) specialist in your area ASAP. If there is an ear drum damage, you need to prevent it from being infected.
P.S. Use an ear plug or some cotton to seal your ear and protect it from any dirt or water (shower) in case you damaged the drum.
